They Never Said "We Rob Banks."

Philadelphia’s Bonnie and Clyde apparently are about to plead guilty to a variety of federal charges. United States Attorney Patrick Meehan felt the need to hold a press conference yesterday to announce he was seeking five year prison terms for the young yuppie couple who pilfered all of $119,000 from their friends and neighbors last year. Meehan called the couple, Jocelyn Kirsch and Edward Anderton, the “poster children for identity theft.” Maybe so. But one certainly questions whether the crime merits such a high profile announcement from Mr. Meehan and such a stiff sentence. Could it be just that the pair looks so good in their vacation swimsuits and looks so unlike any criminals other than that long ago famous couple who still capture the American imagination?
