Yeah, because it was only a BB gun and he's really a good guy.
Megaro doubted that strategy would work. He said the law does not allow credit for time served when the convicted person was not behind bars.
"I don't think that's an option, unfortunately," Megaro said.
If only his lawyer had been thinking that clearly earlier. As a officer of the court, he had a duty to do more than just say "Hey, maybe they'll forget all about you".

In the here and now, he should do a year and a day and then maybe be released.
But to argue that he shouldn't be held responsible at all is ridiculous.
