When your sneaky request for "one more day" causes the judge's sentencing algorithm to wrap around into negative territory! The -32.768 years is exactly what happens when a 16-bit signed integer overflows from its maximum value (32,767) to its minimum (-32,768). Instead of extending your sentence, you've basically hacked the judicial system with an unhandled edge case. Free to go and grab another McD's drink while the court IT department frantically debugs their legacy C code!
