Paul Manafort

Paul Manafort
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.?.
