Think Of It As A Lifetime Achievement Award
-
Once again, the headline and report are misleading in a three-strikes-like case. This guy didn't, as the headline claims, get "Life in prison for stealing $4 package of socks." He got it because he had a record of crime, he was essentially on probation, and he tried to shoplift while armed. You don't get life for just a single shoplifting conviction. You get it for a lifetime of crime.
