current state of play re steven

Her is the maths. He has served 5yr 2m. He has worked for 3y7m (had a job in the prison for which his time is counted as double). This means he is viewed as haveing served 8y9m.
under nicaraguan law he can apply for parole after serving 2/3 of sentance.

Therefore if the new sentance is anything less that 14 yrs he can apply. This will mean another hearing (probably in a few months time).

Whether or not he is granted parole, he can apply for deportation, either under parole or as still serving his sentance. this process will also take a number of months.

So right now he is hopeful. things for the first time are significantly moving for him
