Discussion: Ex-City Employee Faces Prison For Allegedly Using Prison Inmates In Copper Heist

Discussion for article #237148

Luther made $157.95 from the sale, but after paying each inmate $40, cleared with $37.95, according to a sheriff’s office affidavit.

Smith, 66, is jailed on six counts of copper theft, each of which carries a maximum five-year prison sentence and $500 fine. He also is facing one count of engaging in a pattern of criminal offenses, a charge that carries up to two years in prison and a $25,000 fine.

I’m guessing he didn’t do a risk/benefit analysis before hand. Always crunch the numbers!

Good to see Junior Soprano is keeping busy. And I must say, the dude deserves some leniency for splitting the money evenly between himself and the inmates.

That is a special kind of stupid; that’s Palin stupid. Still laughing.
