ImpulZe Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 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.'' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VitaminD Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 I am in favor of anything that allows us to keep genius like this off the streets for another 36 months. I'll get him a 3-digit NFL official's jersey if it'll make happier. "Start spreading the news... They're leavin' today... Won't get to be a part of it... In old New York..."In order for the Mets' run of 12 losses in 17 games to mean something, the Phillies still had to win 13 of 17. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cujo Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 You know this guy is only doing 3 extra days in order to actually meet Larry Legend himself.I dunno if I'd do three days in the slam just to meet the athlete I worship. Actually, I probably would. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeytonManningRocks Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 Hey what about wanting to honor Gilbert Arenas? Isn't his number 00? Man, if the judge gave me an option of a jersey number for years of sentence, I'd pick him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
