Man requests longer prison sentence to match Bird's jersey number
October 20, 2005

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) -- A man got a prison term longer than prosecutors and defense attorneys had agreed to -- all because of Larry Bird.

The lawyers reached a plea agreement Tuesday for a 30-year term for a man accused of shooting with an intent to kill and robbery. But Eric James Torpy wanted his prison term to match Bird's jersey number 33.

``He said if he was going to go down, he was going to go down in Larry Bird's jersey,'' Oklahoma County District Judge Ray Elliott said Wednesday. ``We accommodated his request and he was just as happy as he could be.

``I've never seen anything like this in 26 years in the courthouse. But, I know the DA is happy about it.''

They should have given him 32, just to piss him off.

I guess he'll be thinking of Bird every time he gets raped in the shower.

I think that's how they keep from showing bias in the court system. If they didn't the numbers would seem skewed toward minorities. Can't keep on skewin' minorities.

Man, you got a lot to learn about Texiss.

"Texas. It's a whole other country."

And I know parts of it that make the outskirts of the worst parts of Iraq look downright inviting.
