The problem is that nobody got hurt (except for him a little), nobody was falsely accused, and nobody was falsely arrested.
So the damages were limited to a waste of investigative resources and some mail fraud where nobody was cheated out of anything.
He does have a minor prior regarding giving a false name to police during a traffic stop, but that's not a big deal.
His lawyers should be able to justify going light on him, even though this is a super-high-profile case.
I'm guessing that zero jail time won't happen because it would look bad, but some minor jail time + probation/restitution is looking likely.
He is unlikely to get anything like 2 years.
I agree he deserves more than he's going to get, but that's probably what we're going to see.
The worst part is that, if they did arrest and wrongfully charge two innocent white guys over this, he would have continued the victim act and probably encouraged a harsh prosecution of them. Unfortunately that can't be proven.
