"Today's events have really taken it out of me. I am so tired, and my head aches. 3 years with one suspended. Once Hartman serves his 2 years in jail he will be sent back to the States. I know that this short term might anger some but please keep in mind that most perpetrators of historical cr ime serve no sentence at all.
