From the Cowboy State Daily:
The Romanian man who stole a $7,500 bottle of scotch from a Jackson liquor store by hiding it in his crotch has been sentenced to probation.
Jackson Circuit Court Judge Curt Haws sentenced Marian Firu, 50, to six months of unsupervised probation, according to a court filing that became available this week.
Firu faces a possible 179 days in jail if he violates his probation, according to the judgment and sentence filing.
$7,500 is something of real value (I'll comment on that again in a moment), so why is this reduced to something so minor?
It's a felony. He should do time, and then be sent back to Romania.
Secondly, why are there $7,500 bottles of Scotch? That's obscene and really simply shouldn't be.
