Two teens charged with armed robbery in an Algiers carjacking this summer pleaded guilty last week to two misdemeanors and were sentenced to probation.

So you jack a car with a gun, and you get... probation??? WTF? Why would the DA and the courts agree to this???

The 19-year-old identified Landry and Moore as the people who stole his vehicle, police said.

So we have an eyewitness and they still got this reduced sentence??

he teens pleaded guilty Friday (Nov. 30) to aggravated assault with a dangerous weapon and misdemeanor theft. Criminal District Judge Karen Herman sentenced them to serve six months in the Orleans Justice Center, but deferred that sentence and placed them on three months of inactive probation.

Inactive probation?? We couldn't even put an ankle monitor on them????

Ken Daley, a spokesman for District Attorney Leon Cannizzaro’s office, said the victim in this case was a migratory laborer who did not speak English.

He did not answer the phone number he provided to authorities, and had no contact with police or prosecutors after his vehicle was recovered, Daley said.

That left the district attorney’s office with no choice by to plead the case down, he said. “This was not the preferred outcome for two defendants we believe committed a violent felony offense in which another carjacking victim might have lost their life,” he said.

So basically we have an illegal, who was afraid of talking to the cops too much, because he probably thought he would get sent home.

But... he's driving!!!

Our pathetic immigration system meets our pathetic criminal justice system.
