    Good! At least the court finally giving out real time for these crimes. Too much larceny going on lately — people stealing everything from handbags to hospital property. Twenty-three months sound fair if he really admit what he do

    Thank God, the term “consecutively” has been revived in the sentencing orders of presiding judges/magistrates!! What a relief!
