More Time

Sentencing was today for the last car theft. The judge left no questions. There will be no 'good' time. There will be no early release. His nineteenth birthday will be his release date, unless he is charged with some of the other crimes he has committed. Since he was hoping for a release on his eighteenth birthday this is a big blow for him. Still, it is not the longest sentence the judge could have given. It could have been another six months longer. I'm sure that my son is not thinking grateful thoughts right now.
