had his sentence vacated after a judge said the Florida man had been"totally rehabilitated."
"The apology letter read by Mr. Somerville was moving, sincere and heartfelt," Kastrenakes said in his order, which was released Monday."I know he has been totally rehabilitated." "I should have called," Somerville told NBC News on Friday."But I was kind of nervous. I also went online to look up what could really happen, and I didn't really see too much there. ... [It looked like] nobody actually ever really went to jail for it."Kastrenakes initially ordered a sentence of 10 days in jail, one year of probation and 150 hours of community service.
"I know I may have to live with a record that follows me for the rest of my life," the letter continued."This was definitely a learning experience and a wake-up call for me. ... I’m determined to not let this define who I am and what my future will be."
