So what crime do you draw the line at? Armed Robbery seems to be ok.
How about Murder? If he killed someone but then for 13 years was a model citizen and turned his life around let him go?
How about Rape? If he raped someone but then for 13 years was a model citizen and turned his life around let him go?
The list goes on.. but based on a lot of the comments on this post if you’re convicted but the court forgets to send you paperwork but your a good person a long time after you commit a crime, it’s ok.

Where did I say anything like that? I was merely commenting on your post that his lawyer was an ass for telling him to wait for the court.
I made no comment about the crime. Just that he was only doing what the court told him. The court didn’t tell him to turn himself in, but to wait for them.
Besides, how serious was the court taking this in allowing him to wait for them. Why wasn’t he taken into custody at his sentencing?
Draw the line at time. He was sentenced to 13 years, it took them nearly 14 years to get around to realizing they forgot to send him to jail. If they’d have gotten around to sending him to jail even if he hadn’t gotten probation or good behavior credit he’d be back out on the street by now. The window is closed, they missed their shot.
