I don't really know what 6 months more or less is gonna do in this case, but ok I guess?

Honestly I think it just made the judge feel better to make it longer

Seems kinda petty

Who knows maybe by adding 6 months it puts her in a different category for parole or something. It only takes $1 to move you from one tax bracket to another one. Maybe something like that is involved. I honestly don't know.
