Some folks do live paycheck to paycheck, Husker. Maybe Fox is in that situation. There is nothing wrong with that!! We all, even the hardest-working, sometimes go through lean years on our way to the fat years.
However, if that is the case, 30 days mught be a REAL inconvenience.
The problem here is "multi-year suspended sentences". Justice should be immediate and final. If a crime is worth punishing at all, it's worth punishing right now and let the guy get on with his life 15 years later.
