9:45 a.m.: Youngstown woman to be sentenced in $8M heist

POSTED: July 23, 2008

AKRON (AP) A woman who helped her boyfriend steal more than $8 million from an armored car company will learn her sentence Wednesday.

Nicole Boyd of Youngstown has admitted to stealing the money with Roger Dillon to escape financial hardship. Boyd and Dillon have pleaded guilty to bank larceny and other charges.

Boyd faces a maximum of 25 years in prison but is expected to receive less under federal sentencing guidelines. Boyds attorney is seeking less than four years, noting that his client has no prior criminal record.

Federal prosecutors are asking for a stiff sentence to reflect the seriousness of the crime, which they say is one of the largest thefts ever in northern Ohio.

Dillon will be sentenced Thursday.

Dschweck she never makes any point. She just rambles without making any sense what so ever. Her only replys are that her inocent family is all locked up for something they didn't do. I bet the police just pick on them. Poor baby. Maybe she will be next. Then we won't have to put up with her uneducated crying anylonger.

In our society today, we are incarcerating more of our people than any other country and yet we claim to be "THE LAND OF THE FREE"...YEAH RIGHT. But instead the rate of incarceration is not just about punishment, it has become a business, yeap it is about money. When you have had the unfortunate experience of this happening to you or to a family member, then you will find out the truth of what is going on with or justice system...

Maybe the judge will feel sorry for her, because she must be retarded. Pahootaman is right on target. These people should get a stiff sentence for their stupid behavior. They planned this and the best plan they could come up with was to run to West Virgina. They must be retarded.

I was thinking "Ohhh, the'll get less than 4 years each for this" and then I ran into the 3rd paragraph and my thoughts were confirmed.

What the*****is going on with the justice system these days? You beat up a laywer, you get 25 years, but if you kill a man or rob $8,000,000, you practically get off.
