" What logic is that One gets 36 years and the other gets 30 days and 36 months probation. Regardless of the role they robbed a gas station They either got to much or too little "

" It all depends on the roles they played in the robberies. Their role normally determines their charge, and when they are convicted their sentences depends the specific charges. Notice that the women's part in the crimes are described differently than the men? The other male was charge and convicted of aggravated robbery AND burglary (although I have to admit I don't know the differences between the two), while the first girl listed was only charged with aggravated robbery. It didn't say what the other girl was charged with, it just says, "For her part in the robberies". Maybe she was the driver or something. The point is, sentencing depends on the crime, and they were all charged differently. That is probably the reason for the varying sentences. Hope that helps. "

" They rob all those gas stations, and all they got was a little over a thousand dollars out of it? Talk about stupid criminals. Hope he thinks it was worth a grand to sit in jail for a few decades. "
