Judge Hades Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 That is a tad excessive. They should do a criminal couples Fear Factor that has stunts that will span 6 weeks. Each week eliminates one couple. They each start out with a mandatory 12 years in prison, no possibility of parole. Each week the number of years served drops by 2. The losing couple spends that much time in a maximum security prison. The couple who wins serves no time but still has to do 1000 hours of community service. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craigboy2 Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 Is this excessive or just punishment? (Wendy's finger scandal) http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20060118/us_nm/...endys_finger_dc SAN JOSE, California (Reuters) - A California court sentenced a couple to nine years in prison on Wednesday for planting a severed human finger in a bowl of chili to swindle a Wendy's fast food restaurant. A judge in Santa Clara Superior Court sentenced Anna Ayala and her husband, Jaime Plascencia, to nine years imprisonment for their role in the Wendy's scam, which caused a sharp fall in sales at the third-largest U.S. burger chain. The husband was given another three years and four months for not paying support for the five children he has with another woman in an unrelated case, giving him a total sentence of 12 years, four months behind bars. Both received near the maximum possible punishment in their cases. "I am truly sorry. I owe Wendy's and its employees an apology," a sobbing Ayala told the court. "Wendy's had always been my family's favorite fast food restaurant." She called her actions "a moment of poor judgment," and told her family: "For all the shame I brought upon them I am sorry, I am so sorry." Ayala, 39, who had been a Las Vegas resident, had initially claimed that she discovered the finger after buying the bowl of chili last March. She hired a lawyer and complained publicly about the experience, attracting wide attention to the seemingly bizarre incident. Investigators later determined Plascencia obtained the piece of finger from a co-worker who had lost the top of a finger in an industrial accident at a Las Vegas paving company. The man had turned over the finger fragment to settle a $50 debt. "I am extremely remorseful," said Plascencia, 43, who, like his wife, wore prison garb to the hearing at which television cameras were permitted. Wendy's International, based in Dublin, Ohio, paid a $100,000 reward for information to help establish the source of the severed finger. Company officials said it took Wendy's months to recover from the bad publicity and lost millions of dollars in sales because of the incident. At one point it gave away free ice cream to try to lure customers back into its San Jose area restaurants. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> They got what they deserve, they give the american justice system a bad name.

As for the sentence......I'm with LadyCrimson. Let them rot in a minimum security prison. They shouldn't have to spend years and years with people who'd kill them as soon as look at them. The severity of the crime doesn't warrant death, by any means.

~Di Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 I don't think I saw anything about where their prison sentences would be carried out. San Quentin? Where did that come from? There are myriad prisons in California. Their criminal background would have a bit to do with where they will be sent... clearly they won't be sharing accommodations... but I doubt they'll be serving their sentences in Pelican Bay, for example. I wouldn't be surprised to see Mr. Ayala end up in Folsom, and Ms. Ayala end up in Chino, though. Minimum security? With their backgrounds and previous legal scams perpetrated? I kinda doubt it. Besides, the state penal system is considerably different than the federal penal system, so anyone hoping they'll be sent to Martha's old "Club Fed" haunt will be sorely disappointed.

Gorgon Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 It's a pretty stupid scam to begin with. I mean something as unusual as a human finger can be traced back through the food preparation steps. If noone is missing one, then where the hell did it come from ?. It can be DNA mached, fingerprinted ect. A ****eroach or a maggot or something would be both smarter and easier to get a hold of. Na na na na na na ... greg358 from Darksouls 3 PVP is a CHEATER.

There wasn't anything about what prison. I was just stating a personal opinion on what might change my view of what's excessive or non-excessive in such a criminal case. As some regular's might have noticed, I sometimes stray into the realm of generalistic concept in my mumblings rather than strict topic-fact following... :D “Things are as they are.

Cantousent Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 No. Their actions had far reaching consequences for the community and even nationwide. The initial story broke on national television, and cost Wendys untold amounts of money. Those costs had an immediate effect on Wendys employees and will translate into costs for the consumer. If there is a maximum sentence for this category of crime, I'm all for it.

SteveThaiBinh Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 Is this excessive or just punishment? (Wendy's finger scandal) Yes. Prison is expensive and a waste of taxpayer's money unless the criminal is a threat to the public. These people should be made to work at Wendy's and do community service in their free time.
