Excerpt:
An unusual reckoning played out in a Minneapolis federal courtroom Wednesday when a bank teller and her robber faced each other again.
Mary Zacharias, her voice cracking, told U.S. District Judge Joan Ericksen of her terror when the woman in dark glasses handed her a note that said she had a gun. "I thought I was going to die," she said, and asked the judge to impose the maximum sentence.
Then came the young robber's turn to address the judge, and she thanked the teller for speaking out.
