Going down in Larry Bird’s jersey
In Oklahoma City, Okla., on Tuesday, a man being sentenced asked for a longer prison sentence than he had been given.
The lawyers reached a plea agreement Tuesday for a 30-year term for a man accused of shooting with an intent to kill and robbery. But Eric James Torpy wanted his prison term to match Bird’s jersey number 33.
“He said if he was going to go down, he was going to go down in Larry Bird’s jersey,” Oklahoma County District Judge Ray Elliott said Wednesday. “We accommodated his request and he was just as happy as he could be.
“I’ve never seen anything like this in 26 years in the courthouse. But, I know the DA is happy about it.” — Associated Press
A good thing the guy wasn’t a Wayne Gretzky fan.
