    He is being held for violation of probation, he can be held without bail in almost every state in US, till the hearing. In fact in most US states he HAS to be held till a hearing.

    So the longer the attorneys argue, and do not go to hearing, the longer he will sit in jail.

    But don't expect him back very soon, I do not understand the discussion of 40 months ? Is that for the new charges ? Probation violation is not normally something that will be discussed.
