NOW he is rewarded AGAIN for participating in that original agreement? Does anybody else (maybe somebody that can explain this more clearly than I can) feel a bit pissed off with this? Can we start rewarding jailed drug dealers with reduced sentences since they are no longer dealing inside prison? Part of his original, reduced sentence was this cooperation.
