美国一男子抢劫银行1美元 只为入狱治病

　美国一名59岁的男子为了能够享受监狱里的免费医疗服务，到银行要求抢劫1美元，之后坐等警察到来。据悉，这名男子之前从未有过违法记录，目前出于失业状态，也没有医疗保险。他的胸部有个肿块，左脚也有问题。他表示，之所以选择抢银行是因为他觉得监狱是他获取治疗的最佳场所。他说，希望自己能在监狱待上三年，这样他就能接受长期免费治疗了。

　　James Richard Verone, who is charged with the $1 robbery of a RBC Bank in North Carolina, has never been in trouble with the law before.

　　A former Coca-Cola truck driver who claims he has never been in trouble with the law, has robbed a bank for just $1 to receive free healthcare while in prison.

　　James Richard Verone, who is charged with the $1 robbery of a RBC Bank in North Carolina, has never been in trouble with the law before.

　　Mr Verone, who was unemployed and facing several health problems, walked into the bank and handed the bank teller a note that read: This is a bank robbery. Please give me $1.

　　He then sat in the bank waiting for the police to arrive.

　　The 59-year-old, who had no health insurance, has a growth on his chest, two ruptured disks and a problem with his left foot, said he committed the robbery because he believed prison was the best place he could go to for medical attention.

　　"I'm sort of a logical person and that was my logic. That is what I came up with," he said.

　　"I wanted to make it known that this wasn't for monetary reasons but for medical reasons."

　　Mr Verone, who did not use a weapon during his robbery, said he hopes he is sentenced to three years in prison so he continues receiving healthcare.

　　"If it is called manipulation, then out of necessity because I need medical care, I guess I am manipulating the courts to get medical care."
