Re: incarseration

It sounds to me like a plea bargain. Non-mandatory simply means that there is no minimum period that he must serve. For example, some drug charges carry mandatory minimum sentences that the Judge has to impose. His own attorney is the one that has the most information about the case and has probably worked out a good deal for him.
