Youths Receive
5-Year Sentences
One 18-year-old youth received a
5-year sentence after pleading
guilty to a charge of “burglary not
in a dwelling” and his 19-year-old
accomplice received a 5-year-sen
tence with 59 of the 60 months sus
pended in Superior Court sessions
held here by Judge Ralph E.
Moody this week.
Ronald Bernsten, 19, pleaded
guilty to the burglary charge in
volving the theft of liquor from
the Village Bar liquor warehouse
earlier this year. Judge Moody
gave him a 5-year sentence and
suspended 59 months and placed
him on probation for the su
spended balance.
State Assistant District Attorney
Clyde “Pat” Houston spent over
half an hour in recounting the past
record of involvement with the law
of 18-year-old Walter Soehner
upon whom Judge Moody passed a
5-year sentence with no suspen
sions, as recommended by the pros
ecutor, Houston.
The sentence places Soehner in
the custody of the Commissioner
of Health and Welfare with the ex
pressed understanding that he will
be eligible for parole at such time
and under such conditions as the
commissioner shall deem advise
able in view of the progress of the
defendant’s rehabilitation.
Both the district attorney and
the judge took note of young
Soehner’s exceptional intelligence.
It was their opinion that witn
proper attention the youth’s appar
ent talent and promise could be
developed to society’s benefit.
They felt that by imposing the 5
year maximum allowable the state
would have sufficient time to give
the youthful offender the attention
needed.
