She was due to be free in May of 2045. Commuting her sentence until May means she's served 7 full years, rather than say 6 and 2/3 years if she were freed now. Had she been pardoned, she would have been freed almost immediately and her conviction quashed. The idea is that she served 7 full years after being convicted of a crime of which she remains guilty (in the eyes of the law). Yep, it's kind of political and arbitrary.

I haven't seen why she won't be let out until May. Is there some reason for this?
