28 months. Asked about cooperation, the government says that he has done everything they’ve asked. More to come.
update: Not 30 as initially reported. A hectic day. Supervised release 3 years. Increased fine to pay cost of incarceration, $2000 a month, $1700 month during release. $150,000 fine. Lump sum to be paid in 30 days. Report August 4th recommending prison in Arkansas.
I predicted 24 months … you predicted 30. Good work.
DJournal:
Has to report same day as Dickie, Aug. 4.
well, Ben, closer to me than you but not exactly right. Sorry about the 30/28 mistake at first.
What is supervised release?
NMC: what was backstrom’s demeanor? Was his wife there? Any family?
He was sobbing through his statement to the point of inaudibility.
DN 4: parole.
Supervised release basically means he reports to a probation offficer for three years after he is released from prison, subject to drug testing, etc.
Supervised release means that you have to report to the probation officer, usually once a month, for the period of the supervised release. Have to submit to random drug tests and everything else in your life is open to the probation officer during that three years period. If you violate any rule or break the law, you can go back to jail for the entire three years.
