(CNN) Deandre Somerville spent 10 days in a Florida jail after he overslept and didn't show up for jury duty, but the judge now says he won't have a criminal record. Kastrenakes vacated the contempt finding and rescinded the sentence of probation in an order he signed on Saturday. Somerville was originally sentenced to 10 days in jail, 150 hours of community service, a written apology of at least 100 words, a year of probation and $233 in fees, according to court records. Somerville did not have a criminal record and the punishment prompted outrage on social media. The judge reduced Somerville's punishment on Friday after the young man appealed his case in court.
