Here's what happened: the guy told the judge he was guilty of everything. The judge decided to have him go to prison for two years. 

While he was in jail waiting for court, he was serving part of that 2 years. So after three months waiting, he now has 1 year and 9 months to serve. 

He may also earn credit for work he does in prison or other things, meaning he probably won't have to stay locked up for the whole 1 year and 9 months. It's not likely that he will be released next month, though. Sounds like it will be at least a year or more before he's out.
