Oh boy there goes another one! I bet a few others are getting nervous
He will, at most, spend 34 months in federal prison, and with a program completion or two, be out in 2 years. Odds are he will have a firearm in his possession within 1-2 days of being released from prison.
40 months on gun possession which he may or may not have shot someone.
15 years seems like an honest sentence,or simply seen him to kenya
