From O'Neil of the Seattle Times:
Schmitt was sentenced to 365 days in jail, but 364 days of that sentence were suspended. The suspended portion of the sentence will not be served so long as he obeys the conditions of conduct from the court. The one day in jail was converted to 24 hours of community service. Schmitt must pay $2,130 in fines, fees and costs and serve two years of probation.
