In layman's Terms he served 2 years or at least the one for a minimum misdemeanor charge he faced at the start of this debacle. And the system is settling on releasing him to assisted living.It means that everything proceeded as planned, as has been been said one million times already. They did the pre-trial diversion/deferral, where a person is not indicted/prosecuted for a period of time and is subject to certain conditions during that period which, if met, means the person will not be prosecuted for the crime. It's not a plea deal because he was not prosecuted for a crime.
Typically a person will have continuing conditions after a decision not to prosecute is made in a diversion/deferral situation. Often it is things like having to meet with probation officers, or doing community service (for a regular diversion program). In this situation specifically, there could be any number of conditions. The conditions are typically negotiated and agreed to when you enter into the program, though in this case given Chris's issues and state of mind 2 years ago, it might have staged out differently. It is possible that supervised living is part of the agreement, and/or supervised living was part of a larger, more holistic approach to his situation, not merely the criminal aspect. Or there may be none.
I'm sum, he went to jail for a year and has been being supervised for another period of time. Two years is within the range of jail time for this crime when convicted. He doesn't have a felony for this on his record (which would have significant impact, more than for most people), but he hasn't gotten off scot-free at all.
So he's facing no charges so long as he plays nice and does what he's told which for all we know includes seeing mandatory therapy again while living in a tard house that so far has allowed him to use the wifi to play his switch and provide some phone mobile service to play pokemon go.
