what are the Colorado and/or New Mexico laws on Train Robbery? I know that when I was in school (mid 70's) and pretending to read law books to justify hanging out in the Jr High library the Iowa law(a subsection of the robbery laws) called for hard labor for life as a mandantory sentence. In fact the way the law was written, if some namby-pamby fool hasn't watered it down, somebody who picked a pocket on one of the Amtrak trains crossing Iowa could be sent down for life under it!
