http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/26797055/ A man convicted of stealing $20 from a toddler's piggy bank has been sentenced to six years in prison. Four-time convicted burglar Ryan Mueller was convicted Thursday of felony burglary as a repeat offender in a Sheboygan, Wis., court. Prosecutors say the 31-year-old Mueller broke into a home in August 2007 and stole money from a 2-year-old girl's piggy bank while she slept. They say the girl's mother walked into the room and caught Mueller in the act.
He didn't just steal $20, he broke into someone's house, again apparently. You do that and just because you only get $20 doesn't mean you should get a break.
[QUOTE="honkyjoe"]Considering he was convicted 4 other times for Burglery I think his sentance is fair.Vilot_Hero
It depends on how big the other break ins were. If they were small time ones, than I would think the sentence was a tad unreasonable.
I see were you are coming from, but it the end..A felony is a felony. It doesn't matter how much he took only that he took it. If there was more than 20$ in the girls bank im sure he wouldv'e taken it as well.
[QUOTE="Vilot_Hero"]That's too much prison time. I would of sentenced a few months in prison as well as a fine, but 6 years in prison is way too much.danjammer69
So how much time would you have given me when I blasted a hole in this man's abdomen with a shotgun for being in my house....in my little girl's room?
NONE!!! Because he was in my house and deserved to have a hole shot through him!!!
The robber didn't brake anything and tried to steal $20. And he gets 6 years in the crime house? The justice system isn't always black and white.

Breaking and entering is a felony as well. Plus, he's a repeat offender.:|

Breaking and entereing is a felony as well. Plus, he's a repeat offender.:|Still seems a little too much. I'm sure a few years in prison and a fair fine would do. It's not like he destroyed or torched down the houses in the other robberies.

Doesn't matter. The law has sentencing guidelines to start with. If you do the crime...you do the time.;)

hmm I wonder if that criminal history included stealing a cookie from the cookie jar. They have been looking for that guy for you years now. barabadwan
Unfortunately, the tactic of denying and deflecting may mean this is never solved.

That damned investigation has been going in circles for years now, I am begining to think it may never be solved.

Yeah, I agree. That and the repeat offender thing makes a large sentence justified.

Yeah, really. In some states, wouldn't he be facing life in prison?
