Paul Allen's sentence was influenced by his cooperation in the investigation of the scheme's mastermind, Lee Farkas, who received a sentence of thirty years in prison. This doesn't make it right to sentence a homeless man to 15 years in prison, though the minimum sentence for a conviction of first degree robbery in Louisiana is three years. I would have hoped the judge would have been lenient on the homeless man, Roy Brown, given that the man was using the funds to pay for a stay in a detox center.
