Give him 30 years
Now the former star student at De Anza College reads philosophy and teaches math to inmates at Elmwood. He said he got high fives and handshakes when they found out what he did.
Hence the life sentence is justified.But his record only shows a drug-abusing repeat felon.
Does this sound like the kind of guy you want back on the streets because he did one decent thing?In fall 1998, Hahn went on a four-month methamphetamine-fueled spree of burglarizing garages, cars and houses in Saratoga, according to court records.
When he was caught, he pointed out the places he had burglarized. In one instance, he took guns, ammunition and a safe with $20,000 worth of jewelry and cash from his former Little League coach, Keith Barna, who was away on vacation.
Huh, what the hell constitutes being a career criminal then?``Matt is not a career criminal,'' said Allen Schwartz, Hahn's attorney. ``He has a terrible, terrible record. He is a thief and he is a drug addict. All of his previous crimes were from one crime spree."
So that the next guy that finds child porn in a res burg turns it in too.mvscal wrote:I'd be willing to give him 20 years instead of life w/out parole.
I was shocked, but yes you did.mvscal wrote: I cut him a break, didn't I?
If you get more than 5 years for anything.... then its the needle.....Huh, what the hell constitutes being a career criminal then?
