re: Armed robber was never told to report to prison

Yes. He should be only marked with a conviction at this point. Would you support a judges ability to suspend a sentence to an arbitrary time of their choosing? There is no excuse for him to not be done with this over a decade later (and his being a good guy means nothing in that opinion).


If the state doesn't process the order to jail within X time (say a year but I could see a valid argument for quicker than that but couldn't claim expertise in the logistics) - then clearly they do not take the conviction seriously. If society wanted to collect that debt, they should've acted in a timely manner.
