Is this story a joke or what?

Eric Bramwell stole the remote from the shared common area at his
apartment complex in Wheaton, in the DuPage County in Illinois.
According to the Chicago Tribune, the stolen television remote
was the last straw as Bramwell was known as a serial thief.
The 35-year-old was found guilty in November after his DNA was
found on a glove that was dropped in the apartment after the
theft of the universal television remote, which was stolen in
August 2015.


Go read the court documents, which are public and most likely
online, for the answer. If he steals a television remote in
prison he will probably get an ass whippin'

"Judge Robert Miller €“ who handed down the 22-year sentence
Wednesday €“ previously gave Bramwell a six-month sentence for
contempt in November after Bramwell told the judge, €œF--k you, go
suck my d--k and go f--k yourself,€� DuPage County State's Attorney
Robert Berlin says."

Probably not a smart idea to say that to the judge.



"Bramwell was indicted by a grand jury on two counts. The first €“
for the theft of the TV remote €“ featured DNA evidence on a glove,
so the prosecutors office decided not to take to trial the second
count for a subsequent burglary at the same building.

€œIn the interest of justice, we decided not to proceed on [count
two],€� Berlin says. The second count, however, was presented at
Bramwell's sentencing as an aggravating factor.

The prosecutor says Bramwell, after his arrest for stealing the TV
remote, confessed to committing a total of 60 burglaries in the
area, though Berlin says Bramwell did argue he was innocent at
trial."


And he can be out in just 11 years if he learns his lesson, reforms
and behaves himself. What people fail to realize is the huge
emotional toll this puts on those 60 burglary victims. Maybe if
Bod had his house broken into, his personal things taken, he'd
begin to understand. And of course if this guy were given 6 months,
left to his ways and finally had an encounter with some homeowner
where either the homeowner wound up dead or Bramwell wound up dead,
Bod would be here bitching about that.

Ah, the newspaper report that I saw didn't mention the 60
burglaries
or the verbal abuse to the Judge. Norty newspapers!

and you did not want to know...
