Cindy, to answer your question, what is Florida doing, I can answer that for you. Locking up more people per capita than any of the other 48 states to include California.

briarroot on October 23rd, 2012 6:15 am I thought “Grand Theft” specifically referred to theft of something worth over a “grand” … $1000.00. Don’t think they’ll be able to make that charge stick, here.

I know it was addressed, but the term Grand in theft is in relation to the other charge which is Petit. Get it? Petit vs Grand. And the charge “did stick” because he was already convicted and sentenced. This is a case of someone who needs to know what they are talking about before they commit to a comment.

If he was in California, 3 strikes makes it a life time in prison. Can’t believe he has 206 felonies.. my god, what is Florida doing?

Does this mean a penny is worth a dime?

The problem is that when you buy something by the foot at Lowes, the clerk will hand-write the price on a sticker and affix it to the product. They need to have a printer that will let the clerk input the item description, unit price and item price, then it can generate a price tag that can be scanned at the register.

Wow! $3.57 for a foot of copper wire – costs as much as a gallon of gas.

The whole idea is to LET him commit the illegal act all the way. Then bust him once its finished. Cmon now! Let’s use our brains today people.

If they were to stop him before he made the purchase, then the intent can be argued in court “well he didn’t intend to check out with that same tag, he was just reminding himself of another price for another item he just stuck the tag over the other one.”

Once he makes the purchase with the altered tag, it “without a doubt” proves that he INTENDED to commit the crime. Done and done.

Let’s go fellow Americans, let’s get with the program here! Not rocket science!

I guess he thought the clerk wasn’t smart enough to figure out the cost of copper… like they never saw that crossing their counter before.. GEEZ
