FBI-baiter Barrett Brown gets five years in chokey plus $890,000 fine

Ol' Grumpy

In January two more charges were added against Brown for trying to conceal laptops during the March FBI raid, bringing his maximum possible time inside to over 100 years if found guilty. His mother was also charged and received a six month suspended sentence and a small fine.

I never understood why they quote a numeric value for a prison sentence when it clearly would exceed the average lifetime.
