Yeah, I totally agree. From what I understand, the guy is pretty fragile 
mentally and physically and some freinds were saying he'd never last long in 
jail so it's a good thing he was cleared faily quickly and released after 
"only" a week (he couldn't make bail which would have been  $1,500 out of 
pocket).
