Rudy chose the “fast track” option, which allows for a one third reduction in prison term, and so that’s why his sentence was reduced. I don’t really understand their system enough to criticize it, but it seems to me that guilty criminals generally would choose the “fast track” option, and get reduced sentences, whereas the innocent generally would choose the full trial, and get full sentences.
