A thief who was given a chance by a judge after repeatedly snatching jewellery from shops was stealing again just four weeks later.The judge is none other than our old favourite, gullible judge Carol Hagen!
Judge Hagen was told Rush suffered from depression following his father's suicide and had been treated in hospital.
She adjourned the case so psychiatric assessment could be done.*sigh*

Unfortunately this was ordered for the defendant, not herself.
Regarding lame mitigation, I saw an article in the local rag the other day about a 19 year old who'd walked three miles to a stranger's house, burgled it and stolen the car parked on the driveway to cart the stuff away.
His brief described the offence as "opportunist".....
