Commentary, sarcasm and snide remarks from a Florida resident of over thirty years. Being a glutton for punishment is a requirement for residency here. Who am I? I've been called a moonbat by Michelle Malkin, a Right Wing Nut by Daily Kos, and middle of the road by Florida blog State of Sunshine. Tell me what you think.

Prison for burglars of Marine's widow
By Keith HerbertInquirer Staff Writer

Two heroin addicts were sentenced to state prison yesterday for burglarizing the Bridgeport apartment of a slain U.S. Marine while his widow was away making funeral arrangements for him last year.

Montgomery County Judge Paul W. Tressler sentenced Kevin Selvoski, 25, of Bridgeport, and Robert Coulson, 27, of Swedesburg, to 71/2 to 30 years in prison.

The prison sentences were longer than usual in part because of the "extreme emotional distress" that the victims suffered, Tressler said.

Both men had pleaded guilty to burglary and criminal conspiracy for breaking into the home of Cpl. John Todd 3d on July 3 last year. Todd was killed in Iraq by a roadside bomb on June 29, 2004.

Selvoski, who was a childhood acquaintance of Todd's, called his widow, Colleen Rado, on her cell phone to offer his condolences. Upon learning that no one was at the couple's apartment, Selvoski and Coulson decided to commit the burglary, they said in court.

They stole a computer and video games and went to Philadelphia to sell them. They returned with three bags of heroin.

"If I can't have my husband back, I'd like to see the people who betrayed him brought to justice," Rado said yesterday.

Carol Todd, John Todd's mother, said in court yesterday that she recalled seeing Selvoski at her son's wake with tears in his eyes.

"You think your heart can't break any more than it has," she said.
