He faced 20 years in prison.
He's been to trial three times for three separate incidents of stealing luggage in an airport. He's three-for-three in getting no time.
But you know they're going to sentence Trump to jail.
There’s laws for us, and there’s do as you please for the elite.
They’re sure serious about fighting crime!!!
ARLINGTON, Va.--Sam Brinton is a free man. The disgraced former Department of Energy official pleaded guilty to petit larceny as part of a sweetheart deal that will see him serve no jail time after facing felony charges that carried a sentence of up to 20 years.
State prosecutors quietly announced the plea dealduring a hearing last week in Arlington General District Court, which is just an eight-minute drive from Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport where Brinton stole a Tanzanian female fashion designer's luggage containing her custom designs six years ago.
According to prosecutors, Brinton entered into an adult diversion program, which requires him to undergo mental health treatment, write a letter of apology, and complete 50 hours of community service helping the elderly. As part of the deal, the charges against Brinton were amended from grand larceny, a felony offense, to petit larceny, a misdemeanor.
The agreement allows Brinton--who made headlines in June 2022 as one of the first-ever nonbinary gender-fluid federal appointees--to escape jail time in a case that could have resulted in as many as 20 years imprisonment, according to Virginia sentencing guidelines for grand larceny. The agreement marks the third time Brinton has been able to escape serving any jail time for stealing women's luggage from airports.
