One year per round

CHICAGO — A federal judge has sentenced a man to more than 14 years in prison for firing at least 14 shots during a failed carjacking and then successfully hijacking another car nearby. Anthony Blackburn, 22, was on felony pretrial release for another stolen vehicle case when he committed the crimes.

  2. HIs attorneys argued that he had a hard upbringing. Awwwww. 171 months are not going to change this animal. He'll only be worse when he comes out. If he serves the whole time at all.

    They Otta tell them that If they get in ANY trouble While on
    pretrial release, the sentencing will be Much more painful.
    If you're waiting to go to trial, wouldn't you work towards Not pissin the judge off? I'm gonna agree with the guy who said
    His time in prison isn't gonna change him, unless it makes him harder and meaner.

  4. Times sure have changed regarding vehicles. When I was a youngster a Tranny was a 4-speed with a Hurst shifter and jacking a car was the initial procedure to changing a tire.

  5. If prosecutors can't mention a defendant's priors in grim detail during a court hearing, then defense should not be allowed to drag up that "hard upbringing" shit, either. History either matters or it doesn't.

  6. Four and a half fucking years ago? He's already gamed the system by putting his trial off that long. If he was incarcerated while awaiting trial he only has less than 10 years to go.

  8. He had a rough childhood ? Boo fucking Hoo , many millions of people had rough upbringing and got through it and are now useful and productive members of society . So what makes Anthony special ? Why should he get a pass? Didn't they hang horse thieves back in the day ? Dude is a menace to society and ought never see the light of day .
