According to the Strib, this young man, Francisco Serrano, is 21 years 
old. It has everything to do with Sabri wanting to do a newsworthy, and 
may even presuppose that the judge reads the splash stories. This young 
man is also smart enough to walk away from things he cannot abide. Sabri 
is setting him up in an apartment where he will live alone, again 
according to the Strib. I doubt there is anything to worry about 
concerning Francisco and Sabri. The bigger worry could be whether Mr. 
Serrano will "win" the right to stay here.
