I took a look at the docket. I noticed that after a video deposition in Feb 2016, that he started to want the case to move forward.
I think what has happened is that the video deposition was allowed into evidence. Once that happened, the case was 'all over' for Barnett and he got or was offered a reduced sentenced in exchange for a plea deal.
But, I do not expect him to be out in a few months. I would not be surprised, even with the plea deal, for him to still get at least five years in jail; which is a lot better than 10 to 20 years he could have gotten with all of the charges against him.
As I recall from some other postings, I think Barnett is somewhere around 40, so even a relatively small amount of jail time of five years will probably have a large effect on the rest of his life.
At 40, five years of jail time will put him at 45, and he will be out of jail, with no friends, no money and no support or help from anyone when he finally gets out.
While in his younger days he might have been able to use 'looks and charm' to get people to do what he wanted, especially the women he dated, I would expect that once he is in his mid to late
40s with literally nothing, that this ability will be gone.
I think the tragedy here is that he seemed to have an ability to sell, and if he just used that to promote opportunities that would make money, and not rip people off, he could have done very well for himself in life. Instead, he choose to 'steal everything that was not nailed down' and now is going to spend a large part of what remains of his life in jail, and have absolutely nothing when he gets out.
