The Supreme Court reviewed his case and, in a judgement of 28 February 2006, ruled that for crimes committed before the current penal code came into effect in 1995, reductions would no longer apply to the accumulative maximum sentence of 30 years, but to the absolute total term of the sentence.
Vrhovni sud je revidirao njegov slučaj, te je u presudi 28. veljače 2006. donio odluku da se za zločine počinjene prije stupanja na snagu sadašnjeg kaznenog zakona godine 1995, smanjenje ne odnosi na kumulativne maksimalne kazne od 30 godina, već na apsolutnu ukupnu kazne.
