I agree with your sentiment but really? You think he'll get an ankle bracelet when he is trying to plea for 30 months or less behind bars AND IT'S not being accepted. And now the plea has been turned down twice by the judge. No, I think on that aspect, you are incorrect. He will do some time, we just don't know how much. Personally it would have been nice to see some kind of restitution, somehow. Maybe take monies and use it for charity if the victims can't be identified easily.
