How many more chances?

Moses Coppin was conviced in 2003 of indecency with a child and sexual assault of a child. In 2008, he had a felony weapons charge lodged against him. Last year, he was charged with felony aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.

On October 29, he posed as a pest control worker and robbed a woman of several thousand dollars worth of jewelry. Police quickly apprehended him. His bail was set at $300,000. He quickly produced the $30,000 required to get out of jail -- $30,000 the police are pretty sure he got by selling the jewelry he stole.

So how many more chances should he get? By the way, when the newspaper tried to contact him for a comment, they couldn't find him. He has since been located and re-apprehended.
