Georgetown — A man who stole more than $90,000 from an elderly couple was sentenced to four years in prison followed by one year of probation and ordered to pay over $100,000 in fines. Theodore Barrett entered a Sussex County Superior Courtroom July 8, dressed in a white Department of Corrections jumpsuit, escorted by two police officers.
As he stood before Judge T. Henley Graves, Barrett, 39, offered a final apology. “Again, I’m sorry for what’s happened here,” Barrett said.
Barrett was found guilty of three counts of felony theft, attempted felony theft and offering a false instrument for filing, a misdemeanor, on June 16, after a three-day jury trial. Barrett obtained more than $90,000 from Terrance and Barbara Bond, an elderly couple, to renovate and expand their South Bethany home.

"I'm sorry for what's happened here," as if he were talking about something he couldn't control, like tornado coming through.
Not, "I'm sorry for what I did to these poor people."
Enjoy jail, you jerk.
Isn't it kinda strange that this guy gets the same sentence as Casey baby-killer Anthony???! Justice served? I think not.
