JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (Tribune News Service) — For a second time, a defendant in a Chinese smuggling case that led to a Jacksonville-based Navy officer’s indictment has been sentenced to time she had already served behind bars.

Zheng Yan, an employee of a Chinese technology company, pleaded guilty in August to conspiring to violate American export laws in a case where investigators gathered information through use of the spy-busting Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act.
