I....I'm having a hard time feeling sympathy for the dude. Like I understand the sentiment OP, but armed robbery is pretty shitty. 38 years is kinda wild, but dude don't go around robbing people lol

So it's not that he's sorry, it's that he thought he'd get a less severe punishment for committing two armed robberies? Sorry, but I have a really hard time feeling sorry for this guy.

That it would be that. He said in California he would've gotten 8 years, and he thought laws were the same across the US. So much wrong with our education, corrections, etc systems in our country. I guess 1 step at a time.

Harsh sentencing doesn't work a deterrent. If you grow up around crime, you're probably more likely to commit crime or see crime committed. Change the environment, change the outcome?? Let's just first admit there's a problem with the environment and we can't even get folks to agree with that

Hey All,
I finished a third round interview, and HR contacted me that afternoon saying I had positive feedback across the board and they would contact me the next day regarding next steps. It’s been two days and they finally get back to me saying they haven’t been able to sync with the hiring manager but will keep me posted. Honestly I wish they would talk with the hiring manager and then let me know the decision instead of checking in. It’s messing with my emotions.
