The coverage highlights that Sandy pleaded guilty to a reduced charge and received a 12-year sentence, while Robert received a shorter sentence after pleading guilty to obstructing justice. This has been echoed across multiple outlets in late April to May 2026 reports.[1][2][3]

These details appear in several outlets that track the documentary’s aftermath.[2][3]
