With Colton Harris-Moore’s federal sentencing set to take place this Friday, federal prosecutors are drawing attention to new statements made by the 20-year-old “Barefoot Bandit,” who was arrested and sentenced by the state of Washington to 7½ years in prison for a string of crimes that involved airplane and auto theft, among other infractions.
After expressing remorse for his actions in court during his state sentencing last month, writings obtained from his personal correspondence with friends and family show him denigrating justice officials and boasting of his flying feats, comparing his exploits to those accomplished by aviation’s earliest innovators.
