His request for a longer sentence came after the owner of the house said the break-in had traumatized her and her granddaughter, according to the paper.
“We want to make sure he gets help,” the woman said according to the paper. “I don’t want to see him on the streets anymore. And that’s the end of the story.”
Neuberger apologized as he asked for “an open five.”
