"After a police dog provided incentive to surrender..." Classic.

Stealing from a school . . . 16 months does not seem like nearly enough punishment.

WOW! . . . A Sept crime and an Oct sentence. Compare that to how fast/slow the legal system works for Corporations, bankers, politicians and others of the wealthy class.

That's teh way it works when you don't waive your right to a speedy trial. You get a speedy trial. Those others waive their right and the prosecutors are happy to let the case sit.

In the Daily news an article goes on the say that the Judge let him enter a program so he did not have to serve his time, he does 1/2 of it but here's the kicker he is a multi felon. So lock your doors cause this guy will be out in 8 months! Here's the real deal Almanac can't you get the facts right!

Jaime Loya Maldanado will serve the time in Maguire Correctional Facility under the newly enforced realignment housing guidelines that require him to be incarcerated in the county jail.

He will serve approximately eight months of the term, said District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe.

The sentence is “appropriate considering he is a young guy without a lengthy record,” Wagstaffe said.

Maldanado pleaded no contest to the two felonies Thursday morning rather than set a new preliminary hearing date.
