A former Georgia Garda armored truck driver spending the next 63 months in a federal prison has a lot of free time to figure out what he might’ve done differently in that armed robbery he staged with the help of four other dudes he recruited via Snapchat, per WSB-TV. Maybe 28 year-old Terry Pollard should’ve tried to be more convincing to the cops who responded to the scene in North Charleston, South Carolina and became suspicious during their initial interview, alerting the FBI immediately. Maybe he should have been a little more discerning in picking his accomplices because they all pleaded guilty and he Pollard was the only one to take it to a jury that convicted him quickly.
But we’d have to think that maybe, just maybe, the one thing Pollard wishes he didn’t do was hold up a wad of cash from the stolen $1.4 million in a video posted to Snapchat by one of his co-defendants while they were celebrating after the robbery. That’s the kind of thing that jurors are allowed to draw one of those “adverse inferences” in deciding whether or no the accused is guilty.
CORRECTION: I fucked this up. Pollard was not the Garda driver, he was one of the recruits. All other details are accurate. Leaving article intact because it was funnier this way.
