I recently read that Paul Manafort has been sentenced to 47 months in prison. With 9 month served, that brings it down to 36 months.
I don't understand the US legal system.
Here in Oz, sentences are set, such as: 36 months, with say a non parole period of 24 months. That sentence is then further reduced by 1/3, unless the person has been very naughty while inside.
How does it work in the US? I'm no admirer of the Trump administration. However, I thought 47 months was pretty severe..
How long will Manafort be most likely to spend in prison.?.
