Yes, it was a plea bargain, but why did prosecutors settle for a suspended sentence, which enables Brinton to escape any incarceration unless he violates the terms of his probation?

He has friends in high places. Apparently quite a few. Steal my luggage and you get stuff that Goodwill would reject, but stealing designer dresses from the designer herself (and then wearing them in public) is not going to come in under any $1200 limit unless the thief is above the law.

Wasn’t the theft of the original designer clothing a separate matter that came to light after the first arrest? I’m not sure if that has moved beyond the complaint desk.
