Two men with a quarter century history of robbing banks, were sentenced today to 70 years in prison for a string of bank robberies in the Seattle area, announced U.S. Attorney Jenny A. Durkan.
The two men, 66-year-old Jack P. Sexton and 65-year-old Ronald C. Kettells were convicted in March 2013 of conspiracy to commit bank robbery, three armed bank robberies and using a firearm during a crime of violence. At sentencing U.S. District Judge Robert S. Lasnik said these were some of the longest sentences he has handed down, noting the men’s criminal history is “remarkable in its length and depth.”
