Why does he get to wait 6 weeks? Did he give the 13 year old kid any time before swinging a baseball bat at him? And why only a year? Is all this statutory, or is it just another liberal judge feeling sorry for the criminal?

This is a complete OUTRAGE!!! Only one year in county jail for hammering a young kid with a baseball bat, and stealing mail?!? County jail is a picnic!!! That's no punishment!!! What happened to the December 2013 plea bargain this creep agreed to wherein he would serve a MAXIMUM OF TWO YEARS IN STATE PRISON?!? How did that get reduced to one year in county jail?!?
Our American criminal justice system is a total farce!!! No wonder there are so many crimes here in the SF Bay Area. The criminals know they will get little to no prison time for their criminal behavior. Everyone send an email to DA Steve Wagstaffe and let him know of your displeasure over this light sentence, which is a joke!!! Wagstaffe's email address is: [email protected]

Agreed, harsher punishment needed here! Thanks for the email address, I wrote too! Baseball bat, 129 pieces of mail and looking for more to take from a parked car in driveway. Good job catching him police, now lets do harsher punishment, why plea bargain? That's what I would like to know?
