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.

Clearly he needed better skills, all around. He'll have plenty of time to think about it, though.

Thankfully, most criminals are just not that smart. Sure, they can be cunning and fool people. However, when it comes to thinking things through and planning them out....well....not so good.

Not quite Darwin Award material, but he's got the potential!
