The Things We Do For Love III

Back in May, Terrence Lee Mackey, robbed a bank and then led police on a high-speed car chase. During the chase, Mr. Mackey leaned out of the car window and shot at the cops with two handguns. The police caught up with him and his accomplice after they crashed the Corvette they were driving into a river levee. Why did he do it? Well, Mr. Mackey told U.S. District Judge Richard L. Young he did it 'cause he missed his Momma. The Associated Press says the 63 year-old man told the judge that he was not to blame. He blamed the crime on the federal prison system, because officials refused to lock him up near his Momma in Florida after he violated parole in 1982. "I wouldn't be standing here today if I'd been sent to Florida like I asked," Mr. Mackey told the court. Unfortunately, Judge Young must be an orphan. He sentenced the errant man to 29 years in prison.
