(Colton Harris-Moore) 'Barefoot Bandit' to be sentenced
Colton Harris-Moore, whom authorities dubbed the Barefoot Bandit, is scheduled to be sentenced Friday on federal charges related to his infamous string of thefts and burglaries.
Harris-Moore pleaded guilty last year to stealing an airplane, piloting it without a license, burglarizing a bank and possessing a firearm as a fugitive.
Prosecutors have recommended that Harris-Moore get 78 months in prison, according to court documents. Harris-Moore asked for 70 months.
A judge will determine the sentence Friday in a Washington state federal courtroom.
