Bookkeeper Could Get The Slammer

On April 2, Angela E. Hiltz, a Mount Airy resident, pleaded guilty to embezzling more than $185,000, including $23,000 from a PTA for a school in Howard County, a Cub Scout pack in Howard County, and Haussler and Associates, an accounting services firm, also in Howard County.

Mrs. Hiltz expects to be sentenced on May 29th and faces 30 years in prison.

Compare that to Eric Price, Arthur Jeter, Wilburt Martin, and Trayvon Ramos. These are the Baltimore City street thugs that curb-stomped Zachary Sowers into a coma, eventually leading to his death. Price, Jeter, and Martin were charged with robbery and given cookies and milk and a couple of soft pillows by Sheila Dixon's office. They expect to serve 8 years in prison. Ramos pleaded guilty to robbery and attempted murder (not murder!), and received juice and candy from Patricia Jessemy's office and will serve 40 years in prison.

How is it that a woman who steals petty cash gets 30 years, yet 4 street thugs get light sentences after they kill someone? Perhaps if Mrs. Hiltz curb-stomped Howard County Executive Ken Ulman, she would have received a lighter sentence.
