Convicted

A White Center businessman who gradually bilked an elderly woman out of her $1.5 million estate was found guilty Wednesday of one count of first-degree theft.

Jurors in King County Superior Court deliberated for about 2 ½ hours before returning the verdict against Tyrone Dash. Dash faces a standard range of up to 90 days in jail, said King County Senior Deputy Prosecutor Ivan Orton.

But, Orton added, Superior Court Judge Michael J. Fox can seek an exceptional sentence because Dash was found guilty of two aggravating offenses: committing a crime against a vulnerable victim and committing a major economic offense.

Sentencing is scheduled for Oct. 30.

These people need very heavy sentenes, to the max, to get the word out there to other potential violators that they can't get away with their evil deeds.

What?????? 90 days?

This is insanity and an invitation for others to follow this example.

I say 90 days in jail = CRIME PAYS.
