Vietnam Vet Faces Amputation After Robbery Plea
In Florida, Vietnam veteran Thomas Patrick Murray, 22, in a wheelchair, faces leg amputation following a land mine injury in 1968 and a hospital stay linked to heroin withdrawal. He pleaded no contest to a reduced attempted robbery charge for a $150 store holdup to fund an $80 daily heroin habit. He is to be treated at Raiford State Prison and later transferred to a minimum security facility to learn a trade. The judge and prosecutor say the sentence aims to secure treatment rather than punishment.
