Terry Jon Martin, a dying thief, confessed to stealing a pair of ruby slippers worn by Judy Garland in 'The Wizard of Oz' in 2005, hoping for 'one last score.' He received no prison time at his sentencing hearing. The slippers, valued at $3.5 million, were believed to contain real rubies, but Martin later learned they were fake. He admitted giving them to his mob handler, who told him they were worthless. Martin's defense attorney revealed his motivation for the theft this month, shedding light on the mystery.
