Thought the judge has told him he will get between 5 and 10 years.
Mike the law must have changed on releasing them on bail whilst awaiting a significant sentence then because Iv'e never known it.
Gator - 'serve' doesn't include suspended sentences etc. Can serve 10 years, 9 suspended and be out on licence in 4 months etc.
Also doubt highly the judge would comment at this stage on even a maximum because it is very low key in the scale (however I shiver when saying that) and it was one person....not multiple with a pattern.
I would guess whatever you read mate took the quote from the judge saying he could 'expect' a custodial sentence only and then with the typical and totally ethical media we have in this country, some twat searches for what Joseph Fritzel(sp) might get in this country and calls that the maximum.
When the truth is so far removed - the truth being so far removed as the person who penned the report describing themselves as an ethical journalist.
As said it won't be that significant mate. There are scales. There was no violence etc, and in this case don't even have to worry about skipping etc as to get his own life back on track, he needs to serve the months he's given, slip into next season's backpages by being good and quiet.
Remanded until boils down to potential sentence/type of crime/severity and flight risk etc.
If this was a Fritzel(sp) type case which is obviously isn't - he wouldn't get bail in my humble.
