"I would say it might be predictable that he dies at a young age, with the company he's keeping". Judge Delahanty put Newsom on house arrest with an additional warning, "If he's outside of his house, there's gonna be an alarm that goes off, and he's gonna be put in jail." It's ironic that he releases him so he's free to associate with the people who Delahanty thinks will get him killed. You don't learn much of a lesson from being released the day after you nearly kill several people with a car.
