He already stated that he is willing to goto jail if that is to be his fate. He has resolved himself fully. The only debate is exterior to that which is, does he deserve to goto jail, and in that case, it is upto the Judge to decide. "time" does not have to mean jail-time, it can also mean any level of probation, civil service or whatever. The important thing about the justice system is that the court determines whether justice is served, nowhere is it written that sending someone to jail automatically constitutes justice being served. We just use jails because they are convenient(personally I feel that it is lazy) way of 'resolving' something.
Believing that the law is always infallible is, imo, a very intellectually lazy position, that risks undermining everything that this nation was founded on.
