近日，美国一名罪犯由于仰慕原NBA的一名球星，自愿在监狱里多蹲3年。

    据美联社10月20日报道，埃里克·詹姆斯·托尔比是美国俄克拉荷马州的一名罪犯，他被指控因试图杀人和抢劫而向他人开枪射击。10月18日，控辩双方达成协议将其刑期定为30年，但托尔比却想亲身经历33年铁窗生涯，以便与NBA原球员伯德当年的球衣号码33号相吻合。

    俄克拉荷马县地区法官雷·埃利奥特19日表示：“托尔比指出，如果要去坐牢，那么他希望能按照拉里·伯德的球衣号码来决定自己的期限。我们满足了他的愿望，而他本人也为此高兴到极点。在我26年的法官生涯中还从未见到过此类事件。

    A man got a prison term longer than prosecutors and defense attorneys had agreed to — all because of Celtics great Larry Bird.

    The lawyers reached a plea agreement Tuesday for a 30-year term for a man accused of shooting with an intent to kill and robbery. But Eric James Torpy wanted his prison term to match Bird's jersey number 33.

    "He said if he was going to go down, he was going to go down in Larry Bird's jersey," Oklahoma County District Judge Ray Elliott said Wednesday. "We accommodated his request and he was just as happy as he could be.

    "I've never seen anything like this in 26 years in the courthouse. But, I know the DA is happy about it."
