He was supplying an illegal pill mill, then when he was convicted he was sentenced to house arrest because the prison system could not accommodate his shall we say ample frame. His lawyer tried to make the argument that the house arrest is unnecessary because he is a prisoner of his home anyway. Apparently he believes he may only have a few months to live, and wants to go home one last time to say goodbye to family and friends. Kinda shoots a hole in the "prisoner of his home anyway" thing, right?
