Hmmm
There must be an obscure statute we don't know anything about.
I've never done any federal criminal law on either side (just some restitution related work), so I'm out of my depth here. If you come up with the answer, I'd like to know.
AnAmericanMother - perhaps you can help on this thread. Dog Gone and I have been trying to figure out how Noriega qualifies for a release in 17 years on a 30 year sentence. It looks like he was sentenced after the reforms, so I would have thought he would have had to do more of his sentence.
Can you shed any light on this?
