Which is short for “We held him a long time before trial so …whatever, we’ll deduct that from his sentenced so he can go home”

A man who lent the Boston Marathon bombers the gun they used to kill a police officer three days after the 2013 attack was sentenced to time served on Tuesday after pleading guilty to drug and firearms charges.
U.S. District Judge Mark Wolf sentenced Stephen Silva, who was arrested in July 2014, to time served plus three years’ supervised release for the charges that he pleaded guilty to last year.
Silva was not accused of playing any role in the April 15, 2013, bombing at the Boston Marathon finish line, which killed three people and injured 264, but admitted having possessed a handgun with its serial number filed off.
