bboyminn:

I did manage to track down one reference to this.

...the Death Eaters now serving sentences in Azkaban for trespess and
attempted theft...

Remember that in the last book, (pg 287) Sturgis Podmore was convicted
of 'trespess and attempted robbery' and was only sentences to SIX months.

I was sure I read something somewhere about Lucius being sentence to
18 months but I've yet to be able to find it. If anyone stumbles
across that reference, please post it. Thanks.

In any event, I don't think Lucius was convicted of being a Death
Eater or being in league with Voldemort, so I expect him to be out of
prison soon.

Just a thought.
