Let's discuss 'Man sentenced in absentia to 247 years in prison by Elkhart judge'.
A Chicago man who skipped out on his trial last month got two-and-a-half centuries worth of reasons to stay away Thursday. Judge George Biddlecome sentenced Roberto Vasquez to 247 years in prison on 11 felony charges in Elkhart Superior Court 3. Nine of the charges were for molesting a girl, and the other two were for providing harmful materials -- pornography -- to the same girl.

| While these idiots running our criminal justice system are busy patting themselves on the back, this felon is laughing all the way to TEEWANA.

why would he care of he lost his chance for appeal? or the loss of his bail money? He's back in Mexico, and will be back under an alias in a few weeks.

247 years, really? I mean really? would it be too much just to hang the man.In the end it would be cheaper....but only if there was a limit on the number of appeals one could request.

| Maybe they will not be so quick to let them have bail next time. The judge probably assumed he could not come up with that kind of cash. I love the long sentence and wish the judges would do more of that sort of thing, but they are just on paper if they do not know where the criminal is! Get them in jail, keep them in jail.
