The first charge was dropped through plea bargaining to get a guilty plea. He was sentenced on May 26, 1993 to one year in jail, and served four months, with eight months parole, two years probation and three years suspension of his driver's licence. I was never informed about his parole hearing or his release from jail. To date, he has never apologized to Jim's family.
