How does somebody get convicted on 8 counts, some of them felonies, and still get to walk free for the next 5 months until sentencing?

That's certainly a fair question. I'll update the story if the judge submits a ruling on that with any pertinent details.

Judge will let him stay "at home" until sentencing. Total bullshit:

Although a prosecutor argued Monday that Barnett, who lives in tiny Gravette, Ark., in the Ozarks, should be jailed pending his May 3 sentencing, Judge Christopher R. Cooper allowed him remain on home detention.

Isn’t he the guy that was abusive to his family? And they’re letting him stay at home.
