A US man who briefly escaped custody and later sought support from high-profile figures including Donald Trump and Kim Kardashian has been handed a 60-year prison sentence. The court delivered the lengthy term after finding him guilty of multiple serious offenses connected to his escape and earlier criminal activities.
The case drew national attention not only because of the prison break but also due to the unusual public appeal directed at powerful and celebrity figures.
Escape Attempt and Public Plea
Authorities said the man managed to flee from jail custody, triggering a manhunt. Law enforcement agencies launched an immediate search operation, eventually capturing him and returning him to custody.
While on the run, he recorded messages and made public appeals asking for intervention. In those messages, he requested help from former President Donald Trump and criminal justice reform advocate Kim Kardashian, hoping they would support his case or push for clemency.
His outreach quickly gained traction online, turning the case into a viral story across social media platforms.
Court Proceedings and Sentencing
During court hearings, prosecutors outlined the full scope of the defendant’s criminal record, including prior convictions that contributed to the lengthy sentence. They argued that the escape attempt demonstrated a continued disregard for the law and posed a risk to public safety.
The judge ultimately sentenced him to 60 years behind bars. Court officials stated that the punishment reflects both the seriousness of his original crimes and the added offense of escaping custody.
Legal experts note that long-term sentences like this are typically imposed when repeat offenders are involved or when multiple felony charges are combined.
Public Reaction and Legal Impact
The case sparked debate about prison security, celebrity involvement in justice matters, and the power of social media in criminal cases. While Kim Kardashian has previously supported criminal justice reform initiatives, there was no official indication that either public figure intervened in this particular case.
The sentencing closes a high-profile chapter that blended crime, politics, and celebrity attention — but it also highlights ongoing discussions about sentencing laws and prison reform in the United States.
