So 388 days credit on a 2 year sentence. By my math he will be out as the sentence is 50% as long as he behaves.... POGO / Peter?
My thought is he should not be.....but..

He should be sentenced to more time. He's done more than a year in county jail. He needs to go to PRISON. He could have killed the person he hit and he caused a serious injury to a police officer.

He got the time that he is eligible under the law and sentencing guidelines. 2017 California is a reflection of the voters will. He plead no contest and accepted responsibility from the beginning . I suspect this is a fair sentence considering
