Yes he was set up, temptation was put before him and he yielded to it, betraying an elderly friend and cutomer, because she was weak and easy prey.

Mr Garrett is fixing to learn first hand about predators and prey.

So he shouldn’t have to do jail time because there are worse criminals out there? Really? A criminal is a criminal, some are just more reprehensible than others. As for the wife and children, there are innocent victims in all crimes, but don’t blame the public for thinking poorly of your husband or father because he obviously didn’t mind jeopardizing his freedom or your way of life when he was stealing from someone else’s mother and wife…

I agree with thinktwice. I know him and the others involved. He is a good guy the others are crooks. They set him up thats why he was the only one who went to trial to fight for his innocence. Sad thing is in Federal Court you always lose.

@Charlie F

I indeed did mean “preying” not “praying”. Thanks for bringing that to my tired attention.

Maybe you don’t know the whole truth of what happened, ever heard the saying believe nothing you hear and only half of what you see ? Maybe you should think twice before saying negative things about someone you don’t even know. Does his wife and children deserve losing their husband and daddy to jail over something he didn’t even do when their are people who have done way worse out there walking the streets free as can be. Remember what you say on here hurts other people.

SMaxon—Surely you meant “preying” with an “e”, not an “a’. I don’t believe he said a prayer or did any praying for that poor victim.

What a looser, taking advantage of an 85 year old “friend” and ripping off hard working folks of their assets in equipment, which means them not being able to take on jobs and means the equipment operator looses a job.

I glad you’re busted, though I hate that tax payers will be paying as much to keep your sorry self in jail per year as could be used to make improvements or probably feed ten families a year.

What a waste for everyone.
