Deservedly so, mobsters over here in NYC get Life almost Every Time when it comes to premeditated murder.
Including a third cousin.
10 years, out in less likely, is a disgusting insult.
In some places, a life sentence can get you out in less than 10 years. But it does look like this deal is 8 to serve. I have no idea on when someone would be eligible to get out on an 8 year sentence up there. Since he’s already been in 4 years since his arrest, he might walk out of the courtroom a free man. More likely, it would take several weeks to process the paperwork.
