For those asking the judge gave a non-binding recommendation that he go to FCI Petersburg I in Virginia. If the public safety factor is not waived, the judge recommended he go to USP Tuscon in Arizona or USP Colemale II in Florida.

So, Ross will still be jailed even if he challenges the judgement in higher court ?

He's been in prison since he first got arrested. So even if he was found not guilty he would have been in prison a year. Anyone know what happens when people have been jailed and then been found innocent? Do they get compensation for being falsely imprisoned? I can't imagine losing a year of your life for something like that and if I did I'd want to be adequately compensated.
