Thief James Jimenez has been sentenced to four years in prison for stealing Kristen Dunst‘s $2,000 Balenciaga purse from her room at the Soho Grand hotel in 2007.
“I don’t understand the charges,” said Jimenez to the judge. “I don’t understand why I’m being charged.”
Manhattan Supreme Court Judge Jill Konviser responded, “I understand, because I presided over this trial and I’m familiar with all the evidence.”
Ouch!
Jimenez’s lawyers tried to get out of the charges by insisting their client had permission to roam the hotel while the cast and crew of How to Lose Friends & Alienate People took over the building.
Nice try. Enjoy your time in jail!
