That made no sense to me because once someone is convicted and sentenced the DA is out of the picture, so I did some searching and in fact that is not what happened. He was released because he met the statutory requirements for the state's early release program. (BTW, it was 9 years, not 7). He was sentenced to 30 years with 16 suspended, which meant he would serve 14 years and then be paroled, and the 16 suspended could be imposed if he violated the terms of his parole. Inmates in Maryland can earn credits that reduce their time for good behavior and work programs and education. For those not serving for violent crimes, large drug offenses, or sex offenses it is possible to earn up to 30 days credit per month. For people serving for some crimes (mainly sex crimes against someone under 16) no credits are allowed. His crime fell between those which made him eligible for up to 20 days of credits per month with sufficient good behavior and/or work and/or education. That's what he did, and after 9 years had enough credits to cover the remaining time on his 14 years, and so was released.
