Actual Justice in Florida

Not Social Justice, but real justice. ‘Brazen’ Florida Shoplifter Sentenced to 30 Years After Rejecting 3-Year Plea Deal for Stealing $20,000 Worth of Designer Sunglasses

A career shoplifter in Florida known for stealing designer merchandise was sentenced to 30 years in prison after she was convicted of a brazen heist at Sunglass Hut two years ago.

Ernesha Atmore, who had been in and out of prison for stealing thousands of dollars worth of merchandise, faced stiffer penalties due to Florida’s recent crackdown on retail crimes.

I can't imagine why she turned down a 3-year plea deal, but it was probably because she was sure there were no consequences for her actions.

In recent years, the Florida Legislature has taken aim at retail thefts, elevating charges from misdemeanors to felonies and lengthening prison sentences for those convicted.

To the surprise of no one, this isn't the first time she's been arrested. Maybe it will be the last time; maybe she will learn that crime doesn't pay. Maybe.
