    No justice no peace nor theft. In other words, compare the sentence with a murder sentence, this one does not fit the crime. Murderers are even luckier than a thief. Who in their good mind would speak like this man?
    The theft was captured on camera when confronted by officers, Coutou said, “Yes officer, I take she bra and them, I just wanted to lie down on them. It on the floor in my room.” Any person who feels concerned about others can see that after such words are uttered by a human being they should know that this person is mentally “screwed up”. This person needs psychiatric evaluation and treatment.At the end of the day, the government will be spending to pay everything that he is in need of while he is in prison.

    Four years is not enough, he stole bras to sleep he would soon steel pantees to masturbate on then he will rape. So looking at where he heading he sent to jail for 10 years

    sounds like an issue of education, and treatment. They should sentence him to complete his schooling and to see a psychologist for his mental condition… completion of both programs should be in lieu of a jail sentence.

      You want to tell me that the Judge or Magistrate who heard the case couldn’t come up with a better verdict yes he has to be punished but 4 years when harden criminal gets less than that time, community service and some educational training was needed at this time, and did this guy have a record before, again he must face the piper but those who are in charge stop over using the rules of law miner cases.

    Stealing is wrong, no matter the value of the item(s). But four years for a few brassieres is ridiculous. It’s quite obvious that the man has a severe obsession with breasts.

      It’s obvious you only scanned the headlines instead of clicking on the link.

    He maybe took them for his girlfriends. He is wrong to be stealing he must face the charges.
