And how exactly does BW having his sentence commuted affect his life. He wouldn't be able to have a weapon. With BW money he can easily afford a bodyguard. He wouldn't be able to vote. That is not the end of the world. He wouldn't be able to travel abroad to certain countries. Might be a problem but if you're wealthy you could probably get around that. Won't be able to hold public office. Was he going to run for mayor of Las Vegas. This would have been a big deal if he was still in prison and got to leave early. I guess not having felon associated with your name is something but if you are already set for life it really doesn't matter much.
