    He can ask for anything he wants. Will he get it? Obviously the court thought he should be in jail, as the court sentenced him to jail. He should talk to his lawyer.

    Ah, jailhouse lawyers.

    They have to be good or otherwise, they'd be in jail!

    Oh...wait a minute. They ARE in jail.

    Anyway, once you plead and get sentenced, you can't ask for a new sentence.
