That was the word I was looking for.

But yes, this would impact every case that followed in terms of where a judge felt like his leeway was in making his determination on sentencing, what he could consider, what or she could or could not consider.

This is going to have a lasting impact on the way judges do their thing going forward for sure.

Yeah, so I actually have the exact quotes from Alexandra Shapiro.

I'm sorry, Alexandra.

It's Alexandra Shapiro.

They said this sentence was the highest sentence ever imposed for a Man Act defendant sentenced under the same base offense level and criminal history category.

The jury only authorized punishment for prostitution.

It never authorized a sentence four times the typical sentence for that crime.

That's a powerful argument.

Four times more, they said.

You know, I'm not really anticipating that.

But as soon as you said it, I thought, wow, it is possible.

It could happen right now.

He is in the middle of serving a 50 month sentence for his crimes.

He's scheduled to be released exactly two years from now, April 2026.

So look, his lawyers are trying to get him out now or at least get a reduced sentence out of this appeals court hearing.

That's true.

He's been behind bars since September of 2024, I believe.

So that is quite some time.
