Yep, a fair result given the circumstances. He hasn't got off - he's been sentenced to two years, but suspended provided he behaves over the next 2 years. Additionally, these convictions for serious offences will haunt him, making it difficult to get mainstream employment (would you employ a guy who has been convicted of serious firearms offences and has major, err, memory problems?). Added to that, as pointed out on Arrse, he will have great difficulties getting visas and work permits in many countries. He knew the rule. He knew he broke them, he has to accept his punishment. Apparently Mrs N isn't too happy, though...
