Whatever John. You already got way with murder and got to enjoy freedom you didn't deserve for over 13 years.

My bet is, he will get the maximum sentence of 36 months, plus the maximum amount of supervised release.

I hope it's not like other cases where the convict only serves a percentage of their sentence before being paroled.

Unfortunately, outside of Federal crimes, most non-Federal sentences have the possibility of time off for good behavior. And this guy doesn't appear to be the type to stir up trouble in prison. I hope ALL of it is hard time and not in country club prison with the white collar crooks.
 
Skeletal remains identified as Markham’s were found in 2013 in a wooded area in Cedar Grove, Indiana, about 20 miles (about 32 kilometers) west of her home in Fairfield. Authorities ruled her death a homicide but did not determine how she was killed.

Butler County prosecutors have said Carter caused Markham's death by “physical violence and by force.”
