BURGLAR SLAYS TWO PROMINENT BOSTON DOCTORS AFTER GETTING ONLY NINE MONTHS IMPRISONMENT FOR TWO BANK ROBBERIES

Unless you’re living under a rock, by now you’ve heard about the slaying by a burglar of prominent Boston doctors Richard Field and Lina Bolan in Field’s luxury penthouse. The two anesthesiologists were engaged to be married. Both had their throats slit.

Cops responding to a call of an armed man in the building, encountered Bampumim Teixeira in a hallway. He was shot in the stomach, hand and leg when officers believed he was pointing a gun at them. What the cops saw turned out to be a realistic-looking replica of a .357-caliber Magnum.

Arrested in 2016 for two bank robberies, Teixeira pleaded guilty to both crimes and was sentenced to a term of 364 days, with nine months to serve behind bars and the balance suspended for three-years probation. In both robberies, Teixeira gave tellers a note demanding money.

I realize that Teixeira did not use a weapon during the two bank robberies, but a one year with only nine-months to serve seems awfully light to me. If he had received a longer sentence, Drs. Field and Bolan would probably still be alive and planning for an upcoming wedding.
