According to the court's judgment, the man committed robbery and was sentenced to four years and five months in prison. Many netizens were surprised at how long the sentence for robbing a dollar was.

Yimou, a post-90s man, robbed Ms. Xia with a knife in zhuehu Road, Xinzhou District, Shangrao City, Jiangxi Province. Ms. Xia took only one yuan of cash with her, but Yi took the coin. Recently, Yi was sentenced to four years and five months in prison and a fine of 1000 yuan by the court after being prosecuted by Xinzhou District Procuratorate of Shangrao City.
The defendant, Yi Mou, was born in May 1990, graduated from junior high school in Foshan in 2015, and was sentenced for theft in Taizhou in 2016. He was released in February this year and then went to Xinzhou District, Shangrao City. According to Yimou's confession, he has been in a state of jobless wandering and penniless since he came to Shangrao. On March 29, 2017, while waiting at the roadside of the green belt of Daihu Road gas station in Xinzhou District with a knife, I saw Ms. Xia, the victim, was all alone. He used the fruit knife to intimidate Ms. Xia to steal the money. Ms. Xia took only one yuan of cash with her, but Yi took the coin and threw the tool fruit knife into the roadside green belt, fled to the nearby Internet bar and bought a big white rabbit. The next day, after coming out of the Internet bar, Yi, who was sleeping on the side of the road, was caught by Xinzhou public security.
According to the court's judgment, the defendant Yi Mou was convicted of robbery, and he should be given heavier punishment according to law if he is a recidivist. However, in view of the fact that Yi Mou confessed his crime truthfully after being arrested and brought to justice, he can be given lighter punishment according to law. According to relevant laws and regulations, Yi was finally sentenced to four years and five months in prison, and a fine of 1000 yuan.
