He may not have actually hurt her but he definitely upset her. she has worked there many years without any trouble. And didn't need this to happen to her. He is NOT A NICE PERSON. just look what the article says.. "Perry’s criminal record includes escape, burglary, grand theft, resisting officer with violence, and possession of cocaine as well as numerous misdemeanor offenses, including indecent exposure, according to the State Attorney’s Office." Do i think 20 years is Harsh?? No!! He obviously did not learn to be a law abiding citizen before. So just take him out of society. Now i get to work to feed his sorry stealing self for the next 20 years!! I personally know this lady.

Bring back the chain gang for the lifer's & habitual re-offenders, & for all sentence's over 90 days. Put them on different crews to effect county & State road projects, maintenance of the median & adjacent properties, i.e., cleaning out drainage systems. Use the "chain system" where the need fit's.

Now.. he's sentenced to a minimum of 15 years. At about $30k per inmate per year average cost, plus the cost of his trial and appeals, etc. We are going to end up spending over A HALF A MILLION DOLLARS on keeping this one loser off the streets. That's on top of all the other money that has been spent on him in years past. And there are thousands like him locked up... Someone needs to come up with a better system..... for the amount of money spent, it seems like there would be some way to rehabilitate some of these people at an early stage and save us millions of dollars later on...

Yes he has served his previous time as a career criminal. So you think because of that he should get a lighter sentence? So @ Mike, I take it that you are part of his family or friends?

So, he is getting now 20 years for stealing $300. Don't tell me anything about his previous crimes, he has served his terms for them. A non-violent (didn't hurt anybody) gets 20 years for $300. Seems way too harsh for me. If you say better lock him up before he hurts anybody, then way shouldn't we lock up those who post blood-thirsty (like I'd stone him to death! He needs to be tortured! - on other discussions, not this yet) comments before they do what they wish onto the others? he did not hurt 70-years old victim, when she refused to give him the keys, he fled.
