Shooting Fish in a Barrel
Amazingly, Adam St. Clair, 30, didn’t get any prison time for his scheme. St. Clair stole textbooks, electronics, and other items from West Virginia’s University of Charleston, where he was a student, then sold the items on his Amazon store, which he called “Robin Hood Literature”. U.S. District Judge Joseph Goodwin sentenced St. Clair to pay $6,271 in restitution, and to serve five years of probation, during which time Goodwin suggested he “calibrate his moral compass.” The crime became a federal matter because St. Clair shipped the stolen goods using the Postal Service. He has been expelled from the school. (RC/Charleston Gazette-Mail) ...What, so he has to go into politics without a degree?Original Publication Date: 28 January 2018
