That would be a real kick in the face to the family who lost so many loved ones.
If anyone here practices criminal law they can correct me, but I believe he is eligible for parole after serving 1/3 of his sentence, which would be after 2 2/3 years, and since he is already credited with 2.5... theorectically, he can be out in 2 months. Again, this is how I understand it, but I have not practiced a minute of criminal law, beyond the most minor stuff when I was just starting out.
