But even if he had to serve the 12 months he would probably still be released early for good behaviour. And considering that he was only in the dock in thir first place because the police got it wrong I would think the justice system wouldn't actually look to enforce the full 12 months in any case. They are going to be sued by Max big time.
I said before that I think Max will get released and just disappear for a few months. Lauren and Jack will probably go to pick him up from his hearing but something will happen en route and they'll get delayed. By the time they get there the hearing is over, and max's solicitor (hopefully Marcus Christie) tells them Max has gone.
