FARMINGTON, Maine — The getaway driver in a local convenience store robbery in 2010 was sentenced Friday to six months in jail, all suspended.
Marcia Tracy, 29, of Strong was also sentenced to serve one year of probation, according to Franklin County Superior Court documents. She drove the Jeep used in the heist at C.N. Brown’s Big Apple store on Dec. 21, 2010, in Farmington Falls.
She initially was charged with felony robbery but pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor of receiving stolen property in February. Assistant District Attorney James Andrews previously said Tracy would tell the court she had no idea co-defendant Miguel Visuano planned to rob the store.
Visuano, 27, of Farmington pleaded no contest to aggravated criminal threatening earlier this month and was sentenced to seven months and 15 days of a three-year prison term, followed by two years of probation. By the time the agreement was reached, Visuano had served the sentence and was released that day. He was ordered to pay up to $300 restitution to the store.
Visuano was accused of going into The Big Apple with his face covered, carrying under his shirt a wooden baton-like weapon with a chain attached and telling the clerk to empty the cash register. Two cartons of cigarettes also were stolen.
The DAs in Maine sure are a tough bunch, with the grip of a pitbull. Actually, they seem like lovable puppies all too willing to give in to plea deals. Do they really put in a hard day’s work? Doubtful. Maybe they are confused and think they are defense attorneys. The Maine justice system is anything but.
This is be coming a everyday thing now,,Sounds like the State of Maine is a place were robbbery dose pay…Just make sure you have the money to fork over if you get got…!!
Hopefully she takes advantage of the good deal she’s been given, finds better influences and turns things around for herself.
Good luck.
because she’s a woman!
What is it with Maine “justice”?
Here we have another case where the female defendant gets no jail time at all, and the man gets several months or even years.
Attention Maine justice system: the females around here are just as nasty and crooked as the men.
She’s such a sweet girl – just an innocent bystander led astray by someone she thought was a true friend. Yeah, right. The judge must have been in dreamland, as seems to be increasingly common.
Tough sentence.That will teach her! What a joke!
