He's doing a life sentence, and the Chicago US Attorneys Office got their win too, with his conviction last year on assorted other federal charges, like child pornography, distribution of child pornography, I think they lost one of the conspiracy counts, I think he's still awaiting sentencing in that case.
The state case would have been expensive and essentially without consequences. Since, he has to serve that federal sentence first, and he's going to never come home. He got 30 from the Eastern District case, he'll get at least 15 from the Chicago case, he's not getting out.
