Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
I have an odd sort of question. I don't know if any of you can give me any info on this. But I'd appreciate any opinions. It has a particular impact on my family.
There's a guy I know who has done a number of dumb things recently. He's 25, and has been out of work for a year, evicted from his apartment, behind on his child support payments. As a finale, from what we understand, and we don't have all the details, he has been arrested and charged with robbery. We think he and another idjit robbed a restaurant employee trying to get the night deposits. The guy didn't have the money, so they took his wallet, watch, and cell phone. We believe a knife might have been involved.
Long story short, he got caught. I think he was using the cell phone. My question is, do people who commit crimes of this sort pretty much always get jail time? Or is he likely to get probation? It's a first offence from a judicial system POV.
I'd be very interested to hear what you think, especially thoae of you with experience in this kind of thing. Thanks in advance.
