Miscarriage of justice?

Re the Feb. 14 article Homeless man convicted in savage attack: Rodobaldo Sanchez, a homeless man known to be a thief, in a robbery attempt, brutally attacks a store owner, Yue “Alex” Kui Cen, putting him in a coma for weeks. He’ll never be able to walk or talk again.

Sanchez was convicted and will possibly receive a life sentence where he’ll have a roof over his head, a bed to sleep in, three meals a day and a TV to watch. Who said crime doesn’t pay?
