There have been plenty of reports going around about what the judge would decide in the 6ix9ine case and going home was not how it played out.
Today in court, Judge Engelmayer concluded that 13 months of time served has not been enough.
Judge Engelmayer: Mr. Hernandez, I've given it a lot of close thought, including your cooperation. The following are my thoughts, & this is going to take a little while.
You are in custody for 13 months. I agree you deserve a great deal of credit for cooperation.

Judge Engelmayer: However, I cannot agree with your counsel that time served it appropriate. In my judgment, your conduct is too violent and selfish to make 13 months reasonable. You will not be going free today.#Breaking

Judge Engelmayer: Mr Hernandez, if you expected to be released today, you will be disappointed. But you were wise to cooperate. Your cooperation will result in years more liberty.

Judge Engelmayer: Mr Hernandez, please rise. It is the judgment of the court you are to serve a term of 24 months in prison, with five years of supervised release.

Judge Engelmayer: I impose 300 hours of community service when you get out, and a fine of $35,000. Mr Hernandez, the worst part is over. There is a great deal to be admired about you. You're learned a hard lesson here. I wish you very very well. We are adjourned.

While the judge said he appreciate his cooperation, it looks like Tekashi will be serving more time than what he’s been in prison so far and he will not be walking out a free man for his involvement with the Nine Trey Bloods gang.
