A Pittsfield man who is a career thief will spend at least the next seven years in state prison.

Jamie Crick, 41, was sentenced Friday by President Judge Maureen Skerda on several charges stemming from four burglaries for which he was charged in January

He pled guilty to a favorable plea offer last week because his constitutional rights were violated by law enforcement.

He pled to one count at each of four dockets – charges of theft by unlawful taking, conspiracy (burglary), criminal trespass and criminal trespass.

District Attorney Rob Greene said at the time of plea that Crick was given a “very favorable plea” officer, citing a June court order in which the court suppressed Crick’s statements to police because of a violation of his constitutional rights.

In that June hearing, audio was presented in which a state police investigator can be heard on the recording reading the Miranda warning to Crick. Following that, he asks Crick to sign something that shows he agrees to talk to the investigator.

Twice, Crick’s voice is heard saying he does not want to sign the form and that he wants an attorney.

The investigator says he is not going to do all the talking and that if Crick does not sign the form he will go to jail “for a long time.”

Crick’s attorney, John Parroccini, said on Friday that the Treatment Court team believes that Crick would be a good candidate for the program.

Parroccini argued that Crick, “is more than the other things he is labeled” and said his case is a “story of his failure.”

He said that Crick has failed as a spouse, brother and employee as well as a burglar “because he repeatedly gets caught.”

But Parroccini also argued that the “system has failed Jamie” by not providing drug and alcohol treatment when he was in state prison previously or on parole.

He argued that Crick’s “drug addiction has spilled into criminal behavior… The system has also failed the victims. Today, we can make the system work.”

Treatment court could be the “first success Jamie has,” he said. “The system will fail him if he goes back to state prison. If (he is) not successful at treatment court, he will hope on the train and go and serve his time.”

“Jamie Crick let Jamie Crick down,” Greene said. “We have no doubt Mr. Crick is in need of treatment.”

He outlined the effect that Crick’s conduct had on the victims to make sure Crick was aware.

Of the victims, Crick said he was “deeply sorry for everything they’re going through…. I can’t even put myself in that place… All I can do is set goals for myself higher in the future (so) it doesn’t happen again.”

Skerda walked through Crick’s prior record, which includes two lengthy incarcerations.

The family dog of one of the victims was assaulted in the break in and Skerda called that assault “behaviors that go above and beyond anything I heard. If animals could talk, (I’m) sure there would be additional charges here.

“You’ve taken away a future,” she told Crick. “Nothing I do in terms of sentencing will make them whole.”

She then outlined his behavioral problems in the jail and rejected his treatment court admittance.

He was sentenced to 40 to 80 months in state prison, $18,693.68 in restitution, $3,375 in fines and fees, and to have no contact with the victim or trespass on their property on a count of conspiracy (burglary). Additionally, he was ordered to submit a DNA sample.

On a count of theft by unlawful taking, Crick was sentenced to 18 to 36 months in prison, $4,825.18 in restitution, $1,625 in fines and fees, to have no contact with the victim or trespass on their property and was given priority for therapeutic treatment communities in state prison. He was given credit for 232 days time served and is not boot camp or recidivism risk reduction incentive eligible.

He was sentenced to an additional four to eight months, $342 in restitution a $250 fine and no contact/no trespass provisions on a count of criminal mischief as well as 30 months to 60 months, $7,250 in restitution, $2,500 in fines and fees, no contact/no trespass provisions and submission of a DNA sample on a count of criminal trespass.

Jamie Lee Condella, Frewsburg, N.Y., was sentenced for 33 months to 10 years on a count of receiving stolen property for participating in a burglary with Crick.

According to police, Crick advised them that he had planned on burglarizing the residence on Samuelson Rd., but Condella had “gotten to it first.”

Crick told police that Condella called him on January 6 and advised that he was at the residence alone. Crick then picked Condella up outside of the residence and they traveled together to Jamestown, N.Y., to attempt to pawn the stolen items.

Condella was ordered to pay $18,693.68 in restitution, $3,000 in fines and fees, to undergo a drug and alcohol evaluation and follow through with any treatment recommended, no contact/no trespass provisions, submission of a DNA sample and credit for 234 days time served. He is recidivism risk reduction incentive eligible but not boot camp eligible, Skerda said.

Condella told the court prior to sentencing that he needs to make better judgments on who he associates with.

Speaking of the victims, he said that he is “sorry for the fact they have to feel that way.”
