Chinese law professor calls BS that Donald Trump saved UCLA players from prison time
The only problem is a shoplifting charge apparently does not carry that kind of jail time with a conviction. In fact, it doesn't carry jail time at all, according to a Hong Kong law professor.
According to the Times, a shoplifting charge in China is a "relatively minor" crime and foreigners convicted of the offense are more often deported than put in jail.
So it's understandable that Ball would not be rushing to thank Trump for "getting his son out of" prison time.

"It wasn't like he was in the U.S. and said, 'OK, there's three kids in China. I need to go over and get them.' That wasn't the thought process," Ball told CNN. "I say thank you when I see something."
