MARIETTA, Georgia (CNN) -- A judge Monday sentenced one of two women dubbed the "Barbie Bandits" and a teller who helped them rob the bank where he worked.
Ashley Miller, convicted of theft and drug distribution, was sentenced to the maximum 10 years. She has to serve two years behind bars, with the remainder on probation.
She also has to pay at least $2,500 in restitution.
Benny Herman Allen III, who at the time of the February 2007 robbery was a teller at the Bank of America in Acworth, Georgia, also was sentenced to the 10-year maximum.
He's required to serve five years behind bars and pay $2,500 in restitution.
She is convicted of theft and drug distribution and serves only 2yrs behind bars? Check out the male teller's fate for being an accomplice to the theft part. Hmmmmmmmm. [/quote]
You are looking for discrimination where there is none.
The EMPLOYEE was treated more severely because he abused a position of trust with his EMPLOYER. If I was a judge, I would treat such a person more harshly. The gender would be irrelevant.
Had it been the female who was the employee and not the male, she would have gotten the same treatment.
