I love you Phillip Morris: a conman's story

Steven Russell – currently serving a 144-year sentence – is an inveterate conman who has made a series of daring jail breaks to rejoin his lover. As his story is brought to the screen, starring Jim Carrey and Ewan McGregor, he talks from his prison cell to Elizabeth Day

Something just doesn't seem right...

Look at the guys that shafted people for millions of $,

Why does this take more prescedence over a murderer or abuser.
I bet if they had him work on the problem with solving
the Afganistan War problem
he'd come up with a solution.
He has a great brain
If he used it where it is most needed.
If he solved the problem, would they give him a reprieve or...
if he paid back the money that he had taken would he be able to
get out?
Isn't theft about restitution,
lies about telling the truth and trying to make things right again?

I'd rather have him on my side than not.

Maybe Canada should vie for him and
give him a job in the Candian version of the CIA
He sounds pretty smart, would make a great
undercover guy.
I bet he could find out some good info.
There are alot more shaddy business men who have manipulated
the consumer and stolen millions from millions.
Why not put his talents to good use that is if he wanted to.
Maybe he is happy where he is.
Who knows.
The Justice system should admit their mistake and move on.
If this guy is able to restore what he messed up why not get him
to work for you, unless their afraid he will shaft them even then.
