Yep, he was sentenced to 78 months in a federal slammer and only served about a year then released to a halfway house. Don’t know how he pulled that off being fed criminals serve 85% to 90% of their sentence.

No kidding, Jim Trafficant did his whole 7 years and he didn’t burn anything down or destroy anything. All he did was do what democrats do while pissing them off.

The judge agreed to allow time served in the BC jail to count towards time to be served. He was a fugitive from justice caught shoplifting in BC and fought extradition back to the US...I believe he was facing charges only for the burning of several privately owned cement trucks and was never charged with several other arsons(car dealership in Eugene, logging trucks, tree farm, and several timber company outbuildings) because of lack of evidence. In addition he was caught at one time with a half dozen fake ids., cited for throwing a flare at a boat, and cited for trespass back east. He is a folk hero to the ecofreaks around here.
