    Any death penalty charges were thrown out a while ago iirc. I think life in prison is the max he can get now.

      And sentencing guidelines suggest 25-30 years for what he plead guilty too.

      So if he gets the guideline amount, good behaviour in prison, and state case dropped, could easily be walking free in his early 50s.

      Probably a smart play by him tbh. Plus federal prisons tend to be much less horrible conditions than state prisons.
