The paper could have been clearer on this (by the way, I believe he was sentenced to 3 1/2 to 7 years).
Anyway, if his full sentence became the whole seven years, but he was paroled early for good behavior, etc. say at four years, he would not be able to operate a boat for the remaining three years he was out on parole.
As we all know very few serve their full sentences, the judge in this case just added an extra caveat to Littlefields paroled period, if he so obtains one.
By the way, kudos to the Marine Patrol. There was a lot of speculation and second guessing on how they handled the investigation, and many opined (even here on this web site) that Littlefield would never serve time.
Considering the facts of the circumstances coupled with the high priced attorneys involved, the Marine Patrol did a good job in obtaining the conviction and sentence that they did. Hats off to the prosecutor's office as well.
Hopefully the victim's family will prevail just as handily in their upcoming civil case against Littlefiled.
I know my prayers go out to the Hartmans, hopefully closure for the family can now begin in earnest.
