YORK - The day she robbed the Waco branch of Cornerstone Bank, Hannah Sabata bragged in an online video that she was "having the best day of her life."
But on Monday, the 20-year-old told Judge Patrick Mullen that "I shouldn't have robbed a bank. It wasn't the best day of my life. I was just manic. I learned that robbing a bank takes you to jail. I'm sorry I scared the teller, I wish I could take it back. I shouldn't have stolen that money, it wasn't mine. I want to be an art teacher and I want to make the world a beautiful place. I'll never rob a bank again."
Judge Mullen responded that in order to make sure she doesn't have the opportunity to rob any more banks and to protect society, the young woman will have to spend 10-20 years in prison.
