Rome native and Shorter grad Jamie Barton is one of 20 finalists in the BBC Cardiff Singer of the World competition taking place in Cardiff, Wales.
The prestigious international contest brings opera and art singers on the brink of global careers who are selected to represent their home countries.
Barton, a mezzo soprano, is representing the U.S.A. After competing against singers from Croatia, England, Portugal, China and South Korea, she is headed to the Song Prize Final on Friday as well as the BBC Cardiff Singer of the World Final on Sunday.
He may have been "sentenced" to 100 years but in reality, he could be out in as little as 5 years. It is a non-violent offense and I am assuming he has committed no other crimes so he will score high on the grid. He only has to serve 1/5 anyway and gets credit for time already served. When he gets to his "white collar" prison, there will be lots he can do to get 2 for 1 days and even up to 4 for 1 days. He will NOT serve 100 years. The very most would be 20 because that is the 1/5 minus however long he has already been in jail awaiting trial. He will have a very easy time in prison anyway because of all the legal advice he can give to other inmates. They will love him. Don't feel sorry for him.
