The court heard that 38-year-old Weeseekase has 75 prior criminal convictions. “That is very, very sad,” said Judge Kim Young. Judge Young said Weeseekase isn’t beyond redemption and there could be some hope for him in the future. “But as Mr. Holm points out, usually in their old age people slow down and they don’t have the energy level to keep up the criminal activity but that’s not so with Mr. Weeseekase. He just keeps going like the energizer bunny. That is very, very unfortunate. “Protecting the public for as long as possible is a major, major factor in sentencing; to keep Mr. Weeseekase away from other members of the community so he can’t harm them,” said Judge Young.
