Never happen. These were new charges and there are very strict Federal sentencing guidelines in place. A Federal judge will very rarely go outside those guidelines for someone who's dying or something like that. But they'd never do it for a guy like Borgesi, who's still young and they view as a career criminal.

The only "time served" that will count is from the release date of his last case, which was roughly two years ago, until the conclusion of the current trial. So if the guidelines call for him to get 15 to 20, he'll get two years knocked off for time served on this case. And then he'll have to do almost 90 percent of the balance, which is a fuck of a long time. If convicted, he'll come out a little old man.

And I doubt they'd take Borgesi into the program. The way he supposedly bragged and laughed about so many murders, they'd worry that they'd have another Casso on their hands.
