Whistle 3 years for stealing Lance's bike...

Way to go legal system. Apparently stealing a bike > running a dog fighting ring (Vick) > running over a human being while intoxicated (Stallworth).

I know there are different levels of intent here and some people may have had priors, but come on.

Stealing Lance Armstrong's bike warrants lengthy jail term - ESPN

Weasel will become famous soon enough
Justice isn't just blind, it can also be deaf and dumb... but no matter what it will almost always be greedy... It seems to depend on whether the crime was perpetrated by or against a rich/famous person.

Madoff's lawyers request does not mean anything, Madoff is not leaving prison anytime soon.

As far a three years for bike thief, the guy was a repeat offender and I am glad that the system worked.

Vick didn't have a clean record.

How about the other guy getting 3 times as long as Stallworth just for accepting the stolen bike? and he even turned it in later???

Without being in the court room and
privy to ALL the facts, it a bit hard
to take a side either way.....

I think the bigger issue is that Vick got off to easy. I think the guy (bike stealer) got what he deserved.

I can agree with that. Either way, something is out of whack.
