I'll bet you're wrong. He's being tried in Federal court, which means that the stronger truth in sentencing laws are in effect. If he gets 10 years, I think he's got to do a mandatory 9 (or 8 and change, I don't remember exactly what the formula is). He's being tried under The Patriot Act (which covers identity theft), so he's got to do a mandatory 3 years if he's found guilty on that single charge. No if, ands or buts.
