WTF how he out, this punk lied about a hate crime and basically scolded the black community for not believing his story (which we were right) and he gets to walk away free.
:patrice:
From what I read, they figured if he stayed locked up, the appeal process might take as long as what he was sentenced for. So if he actually won his appeal, it would be too late since he spent that entire time in jail, rendering it pointless. If he loses his appeal, he’s gonna go right back in.

It doesn't, I read the main reason for it is because his sentence is short and the appeal process will take longer than his sentence
If his lawyer is good he’d finesse him to get house arrest and have that count towards his sentencing while the appeal process goes through
