On July 10, 2009, Chadwick was ordered released from prison by Delaware County Judge Joseph Cronin, who determined his continued incarceration had lost its coercive effect and would not result in him surrendering the money.
Well, the principle may be there, but if people can still be incarcerated for that long before some other judge steps in and applies it, then I think, in practice, they can probably keep this woman locked up a long time.
