Neither debilitated nor rehabilitated

A man accused of robbing an armored car at gunpoint earlier this year had previously served 26 years in federal prison and was granted “compassionate release” by the state of California, which is typically reserved for inmates diagnosed with terminal diseases or other debilitating illnesses.

  2. Like Bonny & Clyde or Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid, he's going out in style.

  3. I'm not sure what a California “compassionate release” rule has to do with a guy in federal prison..

  4. I read the article. Yes, it was one of them, yet again. I would say I am surprised, but I would be lying.

  5. Two tiers of justice example. I keep saying this issue will not end well for all. Vigilante justice will rise up.

  6. Two points:
    1. He perfected his MO from 1995 and it would have worked without all the new security camera and police technology advancements….
    2. Or…….After 26 years he may have become “institutionalized” and made it easy for the cops to put him back in….didn’t need his cred questioned inside….

  7. Saw what terminal hospice care would cost, so he needed one last score...

  8. 26 years for robbing an armored car, while most murderers get an average of 20 years, with parole eligibility after 10. Shows you where the priority in punishment is - kill whoever you want, just don’t steal the bankster’s money.
