The Postman Always Burns Twice
June 24th, 2009 by Rick
York, England’s Neil Goddard, 32, decided to burn at least 10,000 pieces of junk mail he was supposed to deliver. In the course of his quest to avoid sobriety, Goddard smoked himself lazy, to the point where actually doing his job didn’t sound as good as burning through his supposed $13,000 worth of trees.
Apparently Goddard’s mother had recently died and he was smoking copious amounts of cannabis in order to deal with the loss and depression that it caused. Goddard plead guilty to impeding the flow and burning the mail, on top of some charges of him claiming payments for the junk mail not delivered.
He even had a trial back in April which found him guilty of cultivating marijuana in order to distribute it. After both trials, Goddard surprisingly received only a year in jail.
