Does anyone know whether he will be re-bailed to his palatial parents' home in Palo Alto now that witness tampering is off the table?

No. He might be never leave prison again

  Very doubtful he'll do more than 20 years.

    Bernie Maddoff got 150

      At age 79. Even if he got 10 he'd probably die in prison anyway.

        That might have been a major consideration before he took the stand, where he perjured himself and showed no remorse. Now, I'm not sure the judge might not decide "If I'm going to give him what's effectively a life sentence, I might as well make an example", like they did with Madoff.

Isn’t the home in some way owned by Stanford?

  No, it's just close to the campus and possibly in Stanford itself (neighbouring Palo Alto) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanford,_California https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanford,_California. Stanford used to help professors buy subsidised housing in Professorville but from what I understand these have all been bought and sold in the usual housing market now. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Professorville https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Professorville

    Thanks for the link; i hadn't noticed there was an article about that area. I know Stanford's campus and professorville too, having lived near it for years, but what LA Times reported looks like the ability to use that house (implicitly its Stanford-owned land included) is questionable? Here's a reference (that's imperfect) https://www.businessinsider.com/sbf-parents-house-on-leased-land-stanford-secure-bail-report-2023-1 https://www.businessinsider.com/sbf-parents-house-on-leased-...
