Here's the link to the particular post to which you refer and yes, never steal small.

THANKS, eLwood. Maybe I'll get this figured out before Max gets back. And maybe not! - LNP

VP Spiro Agnew was found guilty of accepting bribes from highway construction companies while he was governor of Maryland. He had to resign, was fined $60,000, put on probation for 5 years and was his won probation officer. He went to California and hob-nobbed with the Hollywood elite. Justice still prevails in America.

Hey, you guys might have it all wrong. If hubby were in Turkey Coughlin's shoes and had to go to a fundraising party, he'd think he'd been handed a death sentence.
But here's the part of the Iconoclast's commentary that floored me:

"Just last month, Keonna Yantize Williams pleaded guilty to theft of property and forgery, both class B felonies, under a plea agreement that got him 10 years in prison for his role in using forged checks to purchase a Sony Playstation 3 and a laptop at the Pleasant Grove Wal-Mart Supercenter in Rogers. Circuit Judge Tom Keith required him to pay $1,420 in court costs and gave him credit for the 156 days he spent in the Benton County Jail awaiting trial."

Hmmmm. Same victim. I suppose you could argue that Williams' crime was worse than Coughlin's because the amount stolen probably meant more to him based on a net worth comparison.
Still, I'd like to know the name of Williams' attorney. Should I ever need representation in that part of the state, I never want to be at the mercy of the court with him beside me.
By the way, just how much will Williams' incarceration cost us taxpayers? And for a non-violent crime?
