Here is Manafort’s statement to the court (including what he ad-libbed). He is very apologetic this time (he was *not* while in front of Judge Ellis).
Judge Jackson roasted him for his apology: “The comments today seemed prompted only by the reaction to the comments last week.”

To clarify, the sentence by Jackson today — she sentenced Manafort to 43 *additional* months in jail. 60 months (with 30 months concurrent and 30 months consecutive to Ellis) on one charge and 13 months consecutive to Ellis on another.
Ellis = 47 months
Jackson = 43 more months
Ellis = 47 months
Jackson = 43 more months
