Charles Henry (Chucky) Larimer, 19, Rt. 1, Box 615, Amissville, was sentenced Monday to four years in the Youthful Offenders Facility of the Virginia Department of Corrections, followed by five years probation, for his part in two burglaries in Amissville.
Dean Hahn, the probation officer who prepared the presentencing report presented to the court at the hearing, had recommended proba-. tion for Larimer. He said that Larimer had reentered high school, was working 35 hours a week, and had no previous criminal record.
Steve Lewellyn, Larimer’s defense counsel, also made a plea for leniency in his client’s behalf. “He made an error in judgement. He was 18 at the time ... His sister (Suzie, 14 at the time) and a close Mend (John Richard Eastham) were involved ... He has no prior record. Chuck got off on the wrong track. It’s fortunate perhaps that he did get caught, maybe otherwise he would have gone on down that road ... Don’t put Chucky in an impossible position ... he’s a perfect candidate for probation.”
Citing the infirmities of the two elderly victims of the break-ins, Judge Carlton Penn sternly remonstrated, ’The court disagrees with the recommendation of probation ... You haven’t picked on someone your own size . . . First offenders shouldn’t always get probation.”
John Tapp, who said he had lived on Rt. 637 in Amissville for 78 years, “came to the witness chair on two canes,” to offer testimony at the sentencing hearing, Judge Penn observed. “Mr. Tapp is totally deaf without his hearing aids, and your associates stole the money he was saving to buy new hearing aids.
