"He Is Sorry for What Happened to Michael"
The new law will see largely nonviolent offenders who otherwise would have been eligible for state prison instead be sentenced to terms in county jail—which, in California and L.A. County, in particular, are notoriously crowded.
"Even if he sentences him to the high term of four years, he is not going to state prison," Slaten told E! News. "Three years in state prison doesn't mean you go to state prison anymore.
"There is just no room for him in state prison, so he will go to county jail," he continued. "And there is no room in county jail for him either. He will probably do 10 to 20 percent [of his sentence], but it's entirely up to the sheriff. And the sheriff doesn't want him county jail, it is too much risk for the sheriff. He is probably going to be entitled to some kind of alternative—work release or house arrest."
