I was as surprised as anyone to read that Bill has an appeal option open... I thought there wasn't any room for that in the case of a guilty plea, but it looks like he can try to get his sentences to run concurrently instead of consecutively. Felonious assault alone netted him 10 of the 12 years, though, so my guess is he won't be able to get more than a two year reduction, even if his lawyers pull off a miracle.

Um, haven't posted any BeckySpellman.com media stories on the sentence yet, but they're coming.

And since December 8th will always be known as the Day that will Live in Infamy, Mom also closed on her new condo. She'll move in fairly soon. Needless to say, it was a very very big day.
