Convict Photoshops pix of him doing charity work in hope of a lighter prison term

It didn't work. The judge and prosecutors noticed that a second photo was the same photo of the guy as the first, only reversed left to right. There was printing on his shirt which was plainly reversed.

The idiot also forged letters from charities thanking him for his help and stuff.

He was convicted of multiple fraud charges and jumping bail while on parole, he's going away for 24+ years.

A similar story I heard about was a rather overweight cop chasing a teen who'd broken into a school at night. The kid took off across a field, and evidently the cop's car-cam caught the cop stopping and shaking his head, obviously aware he couldn't catch him in a dead-run. Instead, he put his hands on his hips and shouted "BANG!!" at the top of his lungs. The kid evidently threw his hands up and dropped to the ground. Shaking his head and obviously laughing to himself, the cop walked up, cuffed him, and took him in.

"Bang"? Oh, dear Lord....
