This reminds me of an old apocryphal story of a sentencing hearing in Judge Mace Thurman's court in Austin (or other judge, in other jurisdiction, as you prefer), in which the balding, just-past-middle age defendant has been convicted of his umpteenth burglary or theft and Judge Thurman sentences him to sixty years in prison.
