If Zhou is convicted of all the charges against him, will he actually serve prison time, or merely be sent back to China? Or will he serve his sentence, and then be deported? The laws on this don't seem clear.

If he's convicted, I'll be very curious to find out whether he receives a severe sentence or one as light as that given to Brock Turner.
We already know that the justice system in California appears to preference male defendants over female victims in sexual assault cases, so it will be interesting to see whether justice is "colorblind" or not. What are the odds?

If he is found innocent, he will probably be deported just the same. He lost his job at Facebook after he was arrested.

Perhaps I missed something, but I didn't find anything in this story or the one to which is linked (which is virtually identical) indicating that Mr. Zhou is anything other than a US citizen. Is Trump's xenophobia infecting Palo Alto?
