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.

Cheers
