Jocelyn Kirsch and Eddie Anderton, the spoiled preppies who lived a jet-set lifestyle by stealing the identifies and fortunes of their friends and neighbors, were so brazen in their thievery that even an attorney for one of them couldn’t make any excuses for them
Dubbed “Bonnie and Clyde” by the tabloids, both come from well-off families and seemed to have promising futures. Kirsch, 22, is a senior at Drexel University, and Anderton, 25, graduated from Penn State with a degree in economics and had recently been fired from his job as a financial analyst.
When police searched the couple’s condo, they found $17,000 in cash, fake IDs, lock picks and a machine used to make them and stolen credit cards. They also found a sort of Dummy’s Guide to cheating.
Investigators say the couple stole an estimated $100,000 over two years and used it to pay for their travels and such luxuries as $2,200 hair extensions for Kirsch.
Do you think they will get out of real punishment with an easy plea bargain because their families are well-to-do in the community? Do you think one will turn on the other if offered a better plea bargain? Will they actually do jail time?
