It looks like Odell Thurman won't be back for any of the 2007 season according to this article. I'm not an apologist for his repeated repeated crimes; sitting out one year was the bright line rule laid out previously. In the usual judicial system you can't add punishment time after the initial punishment time has has been served.
The NFL differs from this approach in that the explicit purpose of a punishment such as Odell's is for rehabilitation (and to rejoin good society). Clearly, someone believed he wasn't rehabilitated enough and decided to add more time. Whether this sort of retroactive fiddling will have the desired effect rather than creating extreme resentment is up in the air.
