999 years 99 months and 99 days is what they call a life sentence. One is eligible for parole after 20 years.
I hope the judge is found and made no longer living for handing a sentence like that I hope all the police involved pull someone over with nothing to lose.
If I had a sentence like that I would be trying to break out too! Next question I have is, did he actually hurt another human being in the act of the armed robbery?
Seems like something logical . Then again when are the police actually ever helpful
Whatcha bet there’s going to be several more violent armed robberies showing up..
I feel sorry for the victims and their families.
Robbery
999 years for ROBBERY
Call me crazy but sounds like someone in the system is being paid off, this is a ridiculous amount of ‘escapes’.
Best could find this guy did multiple robberies in Alabama.
Must have exceeded limit and been habitual offender so sentenced to 999 years.
999 years, wow, at least it wasn’t life.
How did he escape. Why this long of sentence. He isn’t being punished for his crimes. We the taxpayers are paying for them. So unfair
Or did he just get early release ?
Fountain C.I. has a problem with escapes. Are they low on perimeter Officers or are they catnapping? I notice they don’t say how he escaped. Did they let the wrong guy out again? Good Lord, I hope they catch him soon.
Was the courts “9″ key stuck the day of sentencing?
Also how are prisoners that have LIFE sentences able to break out?
If its lack of fence or wire then we need to get more of that..
If its incompetence we need less of that..
999 years sentence. Wow ! Another fine specimen who has nothing to loose while on the run!
Amazing how many “escape” prison in this area! There needs to be a local alert system advising the community when this happens! Always wondering what the guards are actually doing when these inmates disappear..??
