A career criminal who stole a truck containing President Obama's audio equipment was sentenced Thursday to seven years in federal prison.
Sentencing guidelines called for a term of about three years, but Eric Brown of Richmond, Va., agreed to the longer sentence to avoid prosecution for 14 similar truck thefts in three localities. However, he could still face charges in Stafford County, which did not join Chesterfield, Hanover and Henrico counties in the agreement.

Wouldn't this be considered a Mercy Crime? And did the Teleprompter testify at the sentencing?

It should be considered a Mercy Crime because the Teleprompter theft left Obama speechless.

Story should have said, “man was caught as he was standing on a corner rambling on about taxing the rich and how he inherited the current situation.”

Normally, you get three years for this, but this guy got 7 years because he committed a crime against our supreme leader ... because ... uhhh ... because ... because he wanted to avoid prosecution for a bunch of other stuff.

Considering the value of what the Kenyan has to say, shouldn’t this be call petty theft?

That’s what I get for not reading the responses. It’s not as though Freepers aren’t incredibly more clever than I..

I wonder if a witness used an Obama Phone to report the theft.

They throw the book in Chicago at the Obama Teleprompter Thief but look the other way at the MASSIVE gun law violations by the street gangs.

Oops! Sentenced in Virginia but still strange that Chicago street thugs rarely get prosecuted for violating gun laws already on the books.
