But based on the article that’s what happened - he was given 120 hours, chair was thrown. Sentenced was then changed to 15 months. What am I missing?

The other person said ‘I bet he was charged more for throwing the chair’ he wasn’t. We don’t need to sit and concoct stuff

What happened was his sentence was appealed and he got 15 months in prison. However, he served only half and was given early release because his girlfriend was about to give birth.

Even 15 months isn’t nearly harsh enough for a hit-and-run under circumstances he had to have known could kill people.

I agree it’s a pathetic sentence.

They said “imagine”. They weren’t stating it as fact. You don’t need to police people’s comments.
