#1 Probably would've been easier rolling a celebrity or two as they came out of the bars...

#2 ...and continued remorse.

Think I'm gonna hurl! Remember the old days, when ~~I used to walk to school, barefoot and in snow, eight miles each way, uphill both ways~~ remorse wouldn't get you two cents?

#3 we had to wrap our feet with barbwire to get traction on the icy pavement. 5 yrs is too little, make it 10 and let Oz pay for their incarceration?

#4 Bank robbery...is punishable by...twenty years...in federal prison...

(with apologies to Philip Glass)

They weren't recognized by a bank teller, they were recognized by a cop at the security checkpoint at Denver airport. More journalistic accuracy.

They had purchased, with cash, a one-way ticket to Mexico. Actually, they purchased a round-trip ticket, after the gate agent informed them that a one-way ticket was not available.

To me, they should be given the same sentence as a poor black boy who robbed a bank. That is, a long, long sentence. Hey, 39 isn't a bad age to start a life!
