When you ask for a 32-bit integer but the judge gives you a signed one. That ~32,768 years sentence is suspiciously close to 2^15, which is exactly what happens when you overflow a signed 16-bit integer. The criminal probably wanted an unsigned int that goes up to 65,535, but instead got the negative range too. Classic rookie mistake. Should've specified the data type in the plea bargain.
