(CBS/AP) SYRACUSE, N.Y. - A 15-year-old Syracuse boy will now spend the next two to six years in juvenile detention and the rest of his life as a felon. It was all for a robbery that earned him only pocket change.
Anthony Stewart was found guilty of first-degree robbery earlier this month for beating and kicking a 73-year-old man and robbing him of seven cents. Prosecutors say the victim was on his way to a store last December when the two teenagers ran up from behind, knocked him into a snow bank, then kicked and punched him. The two teens had handguns, which Stewart later admitted were BB guns, prosecutors said.

"For seven cents, now you're making someone a felon for the rest of his life," she said.
Are you stupid? He robbed a 73 year old man. Punched and kicked him. Then still would not take any responsibility when the old man AND his buddy said he participated.
He made his bed now lay in the dang thing. Maybe next time you can get a whole dime. Loser.
way to go anthony. thats 31/2 cents if you split it with you partner. is that obama economics?
SOunds good to me. These young idiots out here think its all a game. Sad fact is that if the old man would have shot the kid in self defense, they probably would have locked the old man up for killing a kid.
good, those punks got they deserve. what does it matter how much they got ? huh ????? it is the act, the intent
that got them sentenced. anyone who feels otherwise is a moron

It doesn't matter how much they got. The sentence reflects that. I wish I had a nickel for every time I seen the word moron on this site.
glad to see he got time, but I always wonder why all those business banker types who steal billions never go to jail?
Its the principle of it.
if the man had more, does the kid get more time? shouldnt matter how much money the old man has in his pockets
He should have gotten more time.
Umm the judge didn't just make this "kid" a felon for the rest of his life, his dumb behind did that. at 15 you are a kid but you should know well enough that you can not beat up a 73 year old man and get a slap on the wrist. I am glad he got that much time, and he deserves more.

Because they pay millions to stay out and they generally don't beat up people to steal it, so no physical damage helps as well.
