*** Update On Our Neighborhood Thief ***

I just wanted to give everyone an update.  The young black male suspect (if you do not know who he is and would like his name please email me for that information as he is a minor and I do not want to share it on this page) has plead guilty to I believe 8 felonies.  His sentencing hearing is tomorrow which I do plan on attending to testify as one of his victims.  The prosecutor is going to recommend that he be sent to the juvenile prison for the maximum sentence (which I believe would be 4 years) but the young man's attorney is going to request the minimum sentence of 6 months in a sort of half-way house.  I will update everyone tomorrow after the hearing. 

If any of the other victim's have not turned in their victim impact statement or have not let the prosecutor know that you would like to attend the hearing and testify I would urge you to do so IMMEDIATELY.   As of the last time I spoke with the juvenile's probation officer she had only received 3 victim impact statements which is good for him and bad for our neighborhood!

The second suspect has plead guilty as well.  Her sentencing hearing is on March 21st.  She is not a minor so hopefully she will not fair so well in court and will get the maximum sentence!

Thanks for getting involved to keep our neighborhood a safer place for our families!
