Even though he deserved 30 years, according to the articles he only received 30 months.
So you think he deserved 30 yrs? What about child rapists and murders and kidnappers? They all get 10 yrs and get out in 4 with "good behavior" TO hell with what you think he deserves. He got 30 months and will do 25 and then 6 in the halfway house. So it looks like 19 in. KMA!
