Oh dear! They took all Malvo's "good time" away from him. Why golly gee, if he only gets convicted of a misdemeanor he might just have to spend more time in the jail.

"Good time" for those who don't know is time credited toward one if that person is serving time in a parole State. Virginia has done away with parole for felonies so even if Malvo isn't killed he will never earn "good time" (assuming conviction of a felony). If only convicted of a misdemeanor you earn one day of good time for each day you serve (thus a sentence of 12 months = 6 months in jail).
