House arrest is better but he's still has no business what-so-ever being jailed for 6 months for contempt on an already 2 year house arrest while awaiting sentencing

that judge needs to be fired if not jailed. also hes not freed hes just serving the rest of his sentence at home. big difference.

I don't wish to call this uplifting, a happy day for the lawyer certainly, but Chevron were in a position to do this and could easily do so again.
