Am I blind or there is no official source to confirm this? It's a sickening idea, and I don't buy it. 15 years for $100 robbery? Isn't the sentence for armed robbery 3-10 years max? And if the guy felt remorse saying it's not how his mother raised him, there's no way it's his 3rd strike. There are a lot of logical inconsistencies in this story. It's fake.
Unlike my current state of VA, Louisiana doesn't seem to allow you to see the criminal background of someone online. Having said that you can find the record of a person with that name and birth date listed as currently incarcerated. However with no photo and no prior record to view there is no way to tell if this is even true or if it is true how warranted the sentence is.
Edit: So as of right now, there is no reason to get upset, or feel the need to "fix" anything. Without any more proof then an article started on a blog with no sources. There's way too many things that just don't add up here.

Apparently someone else posted this while ago, I just first heard about this now, so...DeadlyYellow said:
In fact the only information I can find online points to a COMPLETELY made up story.

The robbery in question has nothing to do with this prisoner or anything. No I can't verify it either. But everything I can find points to fake. And nothing I can find goes with the original story. It looks like this blogger created this story and used the info of Roy Brown.

A teen in FL got 60 years for stealing a car. The "3 Strikes" rule absolutely applies for stuff like this.FuktLogik said:
Once again, don't take the "story" at face value. Read all the posts, all signs point to this being made up.Jakub324 said:
Damn, the 54 year old man has to go to prison for 15 years where he'll get food, shelter and everything he needs to live on a daily basis. How fucking unfair is that!
Heck, by the time he gets out on parole he'll have a job and a place to live meaning that he's going to have a better life than he did if he never handed himself in in the first place.
As for the CEO, yeah that sounds pretty unfair. However it depends on the case, the judge and the amount of money the guy was contributing to the country. CEO = lots, homeless man = nothing.
EDIT: Legal and illegal =! right and wrong.

It happened enough for it to make it onto several news sites.
The funny thing is it probably IS cause he's black

Well handled, man. Good job.Jamboxdotcom said:
OT: I do notice that the two happened in two different states... maybe things would be different if they had been in different places.
It's because he robbed them. Robbing is a 'violent' crime while fraud is just a white-collar crime.Sebster 105 said:
As you can see from the sentences in this case, violent crimes are treated much more harshly than other crimes. (Even if there was no ACTUAL violence, it's still a violent crime.)
This isn't a case of 'Rich people can do whatever while poor people can't do anything' so much as 'The legal system is flawed'. I'm not saying the first part isn't true, but hey.
this is highly possible, if i was ever in a situation where i was THAT DOWN on my luck (granted i would never make myself in that position) i would easily commit minor crimes as such to be in prison for the benefits of it.Chappy said:
honestly when the care and comfort of prison is more comforting than the bums out on the road..i do believe something is kind of wrong there..
By all means follow those links and find me a news source (not a blog or a re-post) A direct copy paste is not a news source. An actual quoted, researched, or sourced article. I haven't found any in the first SEVERAL pages of google search. So I'll happily "let you google that for me". Because all there is. Is twitter like feeds, facebook, and blogs.The Unworthy Gentleman said:
