They were discovered two days later.According to the Post, a second mail carrier, James Hayden, was also accused of stealing 50 gift cards from envelopes over the past year in a separate case.

alfalfa19 Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 Serious jailtime for that Yep, federal crime. They hand out time liberally in federal court. I read in a book by William Burroughs Junior about one time he was in court. The defendant up in the case before him was sentenced to 22 years. He began wailing: " but judge, I can't do no 22 years!" The judge's response: "Just do the best you can, son" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Langsuan Man Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 Based upon my experience in retail security, they all claim that it is the first time that they have done this Which of course meant that I was the worlds greatest security manager since I always caught them the first time they stole anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
