Two Robberies = Twenty Years in Prison
39-year old Leland Graham, who was found builty of robbing two Joplin, Missouri banks in late December, will have a long time to ponder his foolish actions. He was sentenced February 2, 2004 to 20 years in prison.
A 31-year old California man, Edward Burton, who robbed a San Mateo bank and led police on a high speed chase was sentenced to seven years and eight months. News reports indicate the botched robbery lasted two hours and required the assistance of thirty police officers!
The saddest case is one involving a pregnant 22-year old, April Shanay Lewis, who was found guilty of robbing a bank in Louisiana on August 6th. She faces sentencing February 10th.
Different ages, different genders, perhaps different races. One common thread -- bad choices.
On the same day Graham was being sentenced, a bank robby took place at a downtown San Francisco location of Wells Fargo Bank. The previous Friday, a bandit hit Wes Banco in Columbus, Ohio.
