Judge Scher agreed Olman had taken responsibility for his actions, Printz said. With credit for time already served, Olman could be set free in about 7½ years. This is his third felony conviction, following burglary and battery convictions in 2016. The battery charge concerned a confrontation with an inmate at Palm Beach County Jail, while the burglary case was still pending, records show.
