You and me both. I've always been of the belief that when you're handed a sentence, and you complete that sentence fully, that you're free and clear. According to the article, the two men have said they will report to prison on January 4th, although I hope they've got an appeal going. They're getting screwed royally. On the other hand, a computer glitch in Washington State released thousands of prisoners early. If I'm correct, at least two of those released early have already committed murder. How convenient that they can blame software for that fiasco.
There's some facts missing here, like when did the Feds actually file an appeal of the original sentence? The father served a year for Christ's sake, and the son 3 months. You mean to tell me that they couldn't get an appeal heard in that time, especially on the father's sentence. Somebody in the government screwed this up royally, and I hope the Feds pay for it dearly.
