Nice headline! Editor just forgot to mention that the thief beat the crap out of the cellphone's owner while committing the crime...

I love how the title "forgets" to mention the assault.

Jurors, who deliberated about 15 minutes, convicted Reed as a habitual criminal So it takes thirteen minutes to do double elimiantion rock-papers-sissors to pick the jury foreman, one minute to vote, and then one minute to walk back. Gotta love Texas

Next time, he should stick to stealing classified documents and destroying them.

Hmmm. My question for the editor of the paper is why the opening parapgraph didn't ask the question as to how it was that this savage was on the streets at all? Why hasn't he already been sentenced to 99 years for the dozen plus crimes that he has already committed?
All I can say is thank goodness that fellow in the truck had a cell phone to steal so the people of Texas could finally put this vermin away for good!

This guy is unrepentant and a career criminal. Nevertheless it is wrong to sentence someone to life in jail for stealing a cell phone and hitting someone. He deserves to go to jail, but the punishment does not fit the crime here, and I think that's unjust. Life in prison should be reserved for murderers, traitors, kidnappers, terrorists or rapists.
Many will disagree and that's okay.

"If you catch me, you catch me. If not, I'm going to go home and eat it up and go on about my business, dog." I guess the jury wasn't swayed by his obvious charm. LOL.

This is why they should bring back caning. They should inflict physical pain on some criminals. It's the only thing they understand. Life if physical.
25 years in prison at the expense of the taxpayers @ 25K a year is $625,000 for a $300 cell phone? Granted the guy should be off the street, bus isn't there something cheaper we could use. How about multiple canings over a few years to make the guy regret and remember?
I'm sure the "liberals", the ACLU and Amnesty Intl. would love it

Reed, who testified during his trial against the wishes of his court-appointed attorneys, frequently went into profanity-laced tirades and told jurors he didn't care if they gave him life in prison. Note to self... Profanity-laced tirades do not help sway a jury.

"There's things I choose to do, like, if I go in a store and choose to take a Snicker's bar," Reed testified. "If you catch me, you catch me. If not, I'm going to go home and eat it up and go on about my business, dog." The only reason this guy would say something like this to a jury is because he wants to be in prison.
Seriously.
He's evidently more comfortable there than on the outside.

Glenn Alvin Reed, 31, was convicted of robbery Thursday for stealing a cellular phone from a man's truck last fall and then hitting him several times when he demanded its return. I guess he has a new place to hang now. (At least for the next 99 years or so.)

I vote for clemency in this case. Give him a parole hearing at the 50-year point. So call me "Mister Sympathy."
