York, Pa., Common Pleas Court Judge Sheryl A. Dorney wants to be sure that Leroy Howard Murray Jr. thinks about his crime now and then. Murray, who pleaded guilty to stealing a car stereo, was ordered to send the judge a birthday card each August 21 during his 23-month probation, as well as pay restitution to the victim.
