Jose Varela, the freelance editorial cartoonist for the El Nuevo Herald, who stormed The Miami Herald offices last November has pleaded no contest to assault and burglary charges in return for a sentence of two years probation. He was also ordered to take anger control classes, continued psychiatric counseling and make a $500 donation to the victim’s assistance fund.
