I think that Silvester got off lightly because he has informed on the people
who directed him to kill the eagles. I suspect that they will cop more
appropriate sentences, but only with Silvester’s evidence.
The magistrate also intimated that Silvester will be deported.
As Laurie commented, it is a start.
