It’s been speculated that there is possibly a deal in the works where Chris pleads to a felony count in exchange for a few years prison sentence, suspended after a year of time served, probation, and RSO. If Chris violates Probation or RSO, he goes back in to serve the rest of his time. Heilberg might have drug things out or insisted that things be drug out for a year in order to keep Chris in County Jail/Western State racking up that year’s time where it’s a lot safer and easier than State Prison. If this theory is correct, we’ll see Chris’ case head quickly from the Grand Jury to a Plea hearing and a sentencing.
That’s the best possible outcome for Chris. He’d be damn lucky if that’s what he gets.
