I heard the other day he is going to be getting out soon.. So if It is true it put him in for about a year and a half...


For what it's worth, prison sentences (not to be confused with jail sentences) typically afford day for day credit while incarcerated. That means you can cut the length of the sentence in half to get the actual time that would be served provided the person didn't lose any good time due to violations while inside.

As well, if the sentence is indeterminate, meaning a term of 1 to 3 years (or whatever), they must serve at least 1 before being eligible for parole, but could serve as much as the full 3 if they lost good time credit.

In the case you're talking about, serving 1.5 years pretty much means he did his entire sentence and there will not likely be any parole period upon his release.
