The jury made the decision on that one.<BR/><BR/>That case was before my time at the Office, but I remember when it happened. As I recall, it was a high publicity case that the media generally seemed to find amusing. Didn't they even make a movie based loosely on the facts? I think they did and I'm also pretty sure that the movie was a comedy.<BR/><BR/>If people think that being the victim of an Aggravated Robbery is so damn funny, maybe they should experience one for themselves.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for posting.Murray Newmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00662196272138109874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7566778230970156239.post-61352850399438866292008-01-20T23:24:00.000-06:002008-01-20T23:24:00.000-06:00As I recall, A JURY gave the Kingwood girls only 7...As I recall, A JURY gave the Kingwood girls only 7 years TDC. The DAs asked for more. I also recall that the recommendations on aggravated robberies dropped after the Kingwood verdict. So, blame the jury on that one, not the DAs Office.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
