As I was reading the article I thought, "This guy's a hopeless
reoffender. He deserves to get the book thrown at him." Then I got to
the sentence above and realized the guy's defence lawyer sold him down
the river. It's too bad really, because now we'll never know if the
long-term offender designation was fairly applied in this case. I hope
he appeals.
One more thing. If I'm ever in legal trouble remind me not to hire Jon
Bliss.
