Residential burglaries violate basic right to feel secure in one’s own home, magistrate says
After being granted bail for two burglaries allegedly committed in January 2013, Wayne Bellafonte Jr. committed another burglary in February. Last week, those offenses and others resulted in a total prison sentence of four years and one month.
In passing sentence, Magistrate Valdis Foldats said that because the burglaries Bellafonte committed were residential, at night, and the victims came face to face with the intruder, the objective of his sentence had to be deterrent.
