Or this means he will not be imprisoned if he doesn't do anything illegal within a 3 years period? The later. He'll be on probation for 3 years, and if he breaks probation (by committing a crime or breaking whatever conditions the judge gave him) he'll have to serve the 18 months in prison. | ||

Anecdotally I have more than a few friends with felonies who have been accepted into good 4 year programs so I don't think this is a black and white thing. It does make the job hunt harder, though. | ||

If he commits any offenses in the next 3 years, or breaks any rules and regulations determined by the judge, he has to serve 18 months in jail. If he doesn't, he won't have to spend any more time in jail. On July 14 2016 17:34 beentheredonethat wrote: Please change the title. I was so happy to read that the charges are dismissed and he's free to go when reality kicked in. It doesn't say "charges dismissed" so it's not like the title is lying to you. | ||

Of course, he would get all the disadvantages you mentioned. | ||

Life argued that he had already been jailed for two months following the charges This part is a bit weird, I thought it was established he could not be held in prison for more than about a month, guess not | ||

Hopefully this will spark something from KeSPA and other teams to implement more oversight and educate their players about match-fixing. Then, I'm an optimist and always hoping for the best, so we'll see. I'm going to miss watching Life vs. PartinG (yes, I know PartinG has been relatively absent from the scene, or to my knowledge he's been). I'll forever consider Life the best SC2 Zerg player, ever. | ||
