Shaw Seeks Leniency In Larceny Sentence
Shaw addressed Judge Crosby before sentencing asking for mercy claiming his health and future earnings could restore $12,000 to $15,000 stolen funds. He argued his plan would pay creditors in full and that a prison term would ruin his family. The judge noted eight counts of larceny and said the money had been restored, but cited Shaw’s abandonment of his wife and children as a grave issue.
