Four men will appeal sentence in theft of rare books

Four men who pleaded guilty to stealing rare manuscripts and sketches from Transylvania University’s library have filed notice that they will appeal their seven-year sentence.

Attorneys for Borsuk say the men are appealing a finding by Coffman that a dangerous weapon was used in the commission of the 2004 robbery. Under the federal sentencing guidelines, the use of a dangerous weapon during a robbery can increase the amount of time a defendant must serve.

    My arse
    Stun pen my arse. They shocked the librarian with something and then stole the manuscripts.

    Rot in prison you scumbags. (Although do try to learn a trade so you can be a productive member of society when you get out).

    Shock me with one of those things while robbing me and I’m likely to shoot you.
