Yeah but if you go by the books he robbed a bank, which I think is a federal offense. If he knew the law he wouldn't have turned himself in.

i dunno if you can really go by the book as he refused more money not for other benefits but his standing situation. he also gave himself up the next day. ifhe really said his mother didn't raise him that way I'd be so proud of him haha

thats our judicial system for ya.

 

[nycsemaj]

Wow, the punishment does not fit the crime. How is 15 years in jail supposed to make him a contributing part society?

 

[ajwings23]

Awwww...there goes the tax money.

 

[ricekrispies420]

i feel sorry for the guy but you can't blame the judge, he was just doing his job.

 

[queensfinest101]

thats really sad.

all he wanted was food.

 

[back2thefuture]

thats crazy. LA aint no joke.
p.s. Capitol One sucks

 

[joeman1515]

k well he didnt deserve 15 years, but his hand in his jacket makes it seem like he has a gun so it is a fairly big deal could be construed as armed robbery. 15years is harsh, but we dont know if dude had a criminal record before. it does suck america failed him and its dire straights out there, and he seems to be agood guy since he returned it all, but people talk like hes totally innocent. a smaller jail sentance is in order, but he did deserve a jail sentance

He will have a place to stay.....something to do and something to eat...........He will be taken care of for the next 15 years.

 

[small fee]

He is getting food and a place to stay not too bad he was already in a rough situation.

 

[three6mafia2007]

15 years? the judicial system is ridiculous at times

 

[ac4three]

I wonder what his criminal record was like.

 

[kash55]

He's better off in jail. Food and a bed.
