I recall something about a judge getting really pissed off at his wife and him for trying to knock her time down to five months or something like that.

Yeah, the thing about the 5 months vs. a year was in the article.
Jesus fucking christ, though, that kind of pisses me off. All kinds of kids who get fucked because both parents go to jail and there's no money to cushion it -- and fat cats get to spread out their time so that their poor pampered baby kiddies don't have to pick which felon parent to visit in prison over the weekend. Fucking Fastows should have thought about their kids before they went and committed felonies.
