From the article: A former Brigham Young University employee will serve jail time for stealing $200,000 from the school. Allen Scott Harris, 40, was sentenced to 180 days in jail and 150 hours of community service Thursday for four second-degree felony charges of theft and communications fraud. Prosecutors say as part of Harris's job at BYU Broadcasting, he bought laptops to give to employees between June 2008 and February 2009. In all, nearly 50 laptops, 80 computer monitors and 175 printer cartridges were bought with university money and sold for more than $200,000. Harris's attorney, Don McCandless, asked for an alternative to jail in order to allow Harris to continue working.

6 months for $200K? That works out to a $400,000/yr job. He must have tithed the money he stole to get that kind of sentence.

He also said there may be mental health issues and said he wanted longer probation for Harris to get a mental health evaluation and treatment.

Any good lawyer...

Why would a JUDGE be ALLOWED to bash a fellow just because he's a MORMON?
