URBANA – It didn't help Ahmed Yusuf's case any that he sent his victim an e-mail begging him for forgiveness for robbing him at gunpoint.
"I had a fake BB gun that could not have hurt anyone. I am very, very sorry. I made some mistakes in my life but nothing close to as big as this," the University of Illinois student wrote to Maokun Li, also a UI graduate student, begging him to ask a prosecutor to dismiss the armed robbery charge lodged against him in November 2006.
