Dharun Ravi set to get out this week, 30 day sentence shortened to 20 days

http://www.joemygod.blogspot.com/2012/06/early-release-for-dharun-ravi.html

His massive 30 day sentence got shortened to 20 days for good behavior and for working. So he wound up serving 2 days per felony. That just shocks the conscious.

He will plead guilty to keep his wife out of jail. He will be serving years.
