My Sleazy Mechanic Got Sentenced

[Bruzilla]

Mike Harris, my sleazy mechanic who ripped me and several others off, and who I've written of a couple of times, finally got to go before the judge this week. He was convicted of Scheming to Defraud, which is a 2nd degree felony.

We were told by the state's attorney that since the guy had never been charged with anything before, he was likely going to get probation. I was told I could make a victim impact statement, and instead of talking about how he had screwed me and others over, I focused on the fact that Harris had two civil judgements against him in the past and had ignored both, how he said there was nothing the law could do to him when I told him I would seek criminal legal action against him, and how he didn't even care that I reported him to the BBB. A guy like that has no respect for the law and doesn't deserve any breaks from it.

I knew the judge wouldn't care much about hearing how some car guys got robbed, but hearing that a guy had ignored the orders of two fellow judges and thought he was above the law would really piss the judge off, and the end result was Harris got five years in state prison and five years probation, which surprised even the state's attorney.

A just reward for his misdeeds. Your paper trail helped give him this. Should remind us all to save our receipts.

Glad you got your day in court! Now he get his days in prison!

Prison rape or jail rape is rape occurring in prison. It has come into common usage to refer to rape of inmates by other inmates, and less commonly to the rape of inmates by staff, and even less commonly rape of staff by inmates.

No one is above the LAW!!! In this case Justice was served Bru. Now if only the currents political abuses could be handled the same way. But we all know who that works...cr8crshr/Tuck

Its about time a dirt ball like that gets what he deserves! Way to go Bru!

 

[GetX'd]

Chalk up one for the good guys! Nice going!

Congrats, IMO 5 & 5 sounds about right...
There actually is justice in the world sometimes...

he'll only serve 2/3rds of that probably, with good behavior
But;
a convicted felon can't own/buy a gun & can't vote too,
2 of our great constitutional rights he'll have stripped, that just as bad in my mind...

I'm glad you pursued it to the level you did Bruzilla, great work...

Awesome. A great example of just what a bitch payback can be (for the scumbag). How will you spend THAT capital, asshole??????

 

[Gone]

I'm glad you did what you did. Just watch your back. This jerk will probably be out in a few years with good behavior and who knows what he might do if he thinks your statement had anything to do with him getting time. Just saying be careful. There are a lot of nut jobs out there.

Great job on getting Mr. Sleazy the time that he so rightly deserves - and thanks for Karma for the assist too - Nice to know that he will not be doing the same thing he did to you to anyone else for at least 5 years ( and maybe longer - now that he's a convicted Felon ).

Justice was "actually" done in this case ( unlike some other things that are going on in this country ).

BRAVO BRU
