Colorado ‘KitchenAid Mixer Crew’ argues for lesser charge because stolen goods were on sale
https://www.yahoo.com/news/colorado-kitchenaid-mixer-crew-argues-002925457.htmlDuring the trial, the defense attorneys told members of the jury that Green and Bolden should face a lesser misdemeanor charge since some of the items they stole were "on sale" at the time of the theft. More liberal logic on display.
Under Colorado law, theft less than $2,000 is a misdemeanor offense, while theft between $2,000 and $5,000 is a felony — prosecutors valued the items stolen by the duo at just under $2,095. Apparently suck at math as well
"Just because an item is ‘on sale’ doesn’t mean it’s free to steal, and these defendants now get to think about this lesson in jail and prison," District Attorney John Kellner said. Thankfully at least one person in Colorado still retains common sense.
