My comment:
(a) The parents burned cash, thanks to unrealistic hope that their son would be deported by state court, within a couple of months after the arrest. That was impossible from the beginning (and the attorneys they hired for state court proceedings should have told them so): a state has no say about immigration matters, which US constitution consigns to the federal government; I have not heard of any criminal defendant in US who is deported without having to complete his sentence. In the end, the state court handed the son over to federal court.
