6 Years for 7 Cent Robbery

[C0untZer0]

I also think there should have been a minimum sentence for using a gun in the crime.

Fake gun, real gun, flare gun, BB gun, whatever-gun, I think if a firearm is used in a crime there should be minimum non-plea, non-parolable, sentence leveled on the offender, not to be served concurrently - but in addition to the sentencing for the crime that the gun was used to commit.

“For seven cents, now you’re making someone a felon for the rest of his life,” she said.

No, for lying he is becoming a felon. I love the way the way the defense puts the blame on "The System".

No, it is neither the 7 cents or the lying that made this kid a felon. What made him a felon was that he beat up an old man in the commission of a robbery. That is why he may serve up to 6 years.

I don't think Laurin Haddad understands that it isn't the amount of the robbery that resulted in the robbery being a felony. It is sort of like people who try to excuse themselves from some idiotic action by noting how they made a "simple mistake." It isn't the complexity of the mistake that is at issue, but the rammifications/consequences of it.

Chalk it up to stupidity for not picking a more lucrative target. Chalk it up to stupidity for not being able get the charges reduced.

I think it should have been seven years - that makes more cents to me.

Okay, that was funny!

Well now there is a judge who knows the value of making an example out of a felon. OK $.07 is no money but beating a 70+ man because he looks like he is an easy target, is a crime that deserves what he got.
Oh yea the BB gun lucky that a LEO did not see the gun and attack he would be dead. This punk got what he deserves and gets no sympathy from me what happens to them in prison is just what they deserve.
