It is a year in jail, not prison. It won't even be a year. It will be
more like 6 months.

The victim is a member of our community and it is a small town. The
family are friends of friends. I wonder how some people would feel if
the guy had been convicted of a violent, racially motivated crime, or a
sexual assault on a child. I would not hire someone to work in my house
if the had criminal records for theft or violence. The courts are
removed from the situation but people in the community have to deal
with their attitudes.
