"This is the eighth conviction for the defendant for robbery or armed robbery," she said, recalling how Baker was convicted in 1996 of robbing three north county businesses and mugging an elderly couple in the span of a couple months. "He is a danger to society."

HELOO JUDGES!!!! Hmmm i only took him eight times to get caught before it was realized that "He is a danger to society"

You liberial ASSES need to wake up. If he was caught 8 times then there are probably 80 times he wasn't caught.

DRUG RE HAB DOES NOT WORK!!!! How many times have criminals come before a judge and have gotten 1, 2 3 or more chances at re hab. Looks like this guy got at least 7.

The police are doing their job. JUDGES IT IS TIME FOR YOU TO DO YOURS..... LOCK THEM UP AND KEEP THEM LOCKED UP. They can do "cold turkey" for 40 years behind bars.
