Contradictory figures In the section Prison sentence and civil suits two contradictory figures are given regarding Mr Luster s sentencing In the first paragraph it says Luster was required to serve at least 85 percent of his sentence Had his original sentence stood Luster would not have even been considered for release until he served 105 years effectively a life sentence However just two paragraphs below same section and still talking about the same sentencing issue it says since his crimes harmed other persons Luster must serve 50 percent of his sentence before being eligible for release I do not know California penal law so I can t fairly say which of these two rther diverse sentencing rules is the correct one 50 or 85 Big difference
