“Exceptional sentence for robbery in Chicago.”

Probably because he robbed a city cash cow. Or a vote generator.

More like 2026 or 2027.

"Officials have not released Young’s anticipated parole date. He will, however, receive a 50% reduction in his eight-year sentence for good behavior. He will also receive 423 days of credit earned before pleading."

Sheesh.
