If nothing else, this cost him a shitload of attorney fees. For most, that is just as painful as sitting in a jail anyway.
Not defending the guy at all, but I think if anybody really examines their life, they can think of some BS that probably would have constituted some time in jail. This pretty much ruined him for life, quite the punishment in my book. Either way, I don't really care! Actually, other than this response, I don't care at all. I hadn't even thought about this stupidity until now.
