It must be nice to be convicted of multiple felonies and go home.

1. Not sure how he isn't a major flight risk.

Maybe because of how recognizable he is?

Even if given fifteen years, and only serving part, it might be a death sentence.

I'm not that proud. I would run.

2. i've heard up to 10 years per charge, but likely to be served concurrently.

i'm thinking 3-5 years. not saying what he deserves, just guessing what i think he'll actually get.


i agree it's baffling to me to release someone between conviction and sentencing, unless no prison time at all is contemplated(!)

4. I'm thinking somewhat similar to you.

I think it would be a bit shocking if no time was involved. Then again, I'm the opposite of a legal expert.

With up to ten years per charge, served concurrently, he should be considered a major flight risk. Maybe they plan on him staying out on appeal? I have no clue. Even three years might be a death sentence. Though the prison he would go to would probably be somewhat comfortable.

3. He did horrible and unspeakable things

That being said there's something about an octogenarian sitting in a prison cell,,,

5. "there's something about an octogenarian sitting in a prison cell"

Yeah there is. It should be easy to keep tabs on him.

6. What, he's a flight risk or something?

7. If I had his resources I might be tempted to make a run.

What a tragedy. Back in the day I thought Cos was one of the good guys. I would argue with my buddy he was that celeb who led a normal life, free from the vices that often accompany celebrity.

8. There's nowhere in the world he can go without being recognized
