In a news conference outside the court, Evi said that it was a "win-win situation,” she was "happy" about her sentence and that she can benefit from the experience.

We asked Randy if he felt the recent series of events involving him and his wife would have any impact on his career.
"Well, there's been a lot of negative press out there about this and its I guess to be expected with the Internet age we live in and all the rest of it, but I was exonerated from all these charges and I'm not a criminal and never have been," he said.
On Monday, both Randy and Evi spent more than three hours in custody; Randy told us that he channeled a country legend to keep his spirits up behind bars.
"That's a very lonely experience because so you have nothing to do," Randy said. "I wanted something to read or something to pass the time, but there's nothing to pass the time except whats going on inside your own head. I started looking at designs on the floor, like looking at clouds and I was singing, I had nice acoustics I was singing some Johnny Cash prison songs."
