Two former Albany students were sentenced for their role in the CDTA bus assault on Friday.

Asha Burwell and Ariel Agudio learned that they were sentenced to three years’ probation and 200 hours of community service for falsely reporting an incident on a CDTA bus.

They made claims that they were victims of a racially motivated hate crime and allegedly beat up by a group of boys.

"I’ve seen the video. The jurors saw the video all the videos from the bus what occurred on that bus is nothing close to what you reported Ms. Agudio and you reported Ms. Burwell as to what happened on that bus," Judge Roger McDonough said.
