Who was the idiot that valued The Rock

At only $134,000?!! You auction that thing off at a IPTAY meeting and theres no doubt in my mind it would go for millions. Sure its not worth much to others, but that Rock is everything to us Clemson fans and now thanks to that a-hole punk my son will not get to see The Rock as I, my father, and grandfather once knew it. $134,000 is a joke. I hope Micah rots in prison for what hes done. And for you jack@$$es that claim prison is too harsh for just damaging a rock... that punk didnt just chip a piece off a rock, he took a piece of immortality of the hand prints of Tiger legends Gaines Adams, Frank Howard, etc that we can never place back on The Rock. F Micah and the "experts" $134,000

If he's found guilty....

he not likely to get any jail time IMO. He'll have to pay a healthy fine, serve a lengthy probation term, and perform hundreds of hours of community service, but jail time...I don't think so.

We should turn him over to ISIS and tell them that he's been known to draw pictures of The Prophet.

Sure, to us it's priceless

But to the prosecution they had to determine a value to overcome the threshold of the charges. They more than did that. If you truly want the ginger to face jail time, then the prosecution did what they needed to do.

Well, it needed a believable value

To me, you, and most Clemson fans, the Rock is priceless. But for the purposes of prosecuting a trial, the Rock needed a calculated and reasonable value assigned to it. While $134,000 seems like a joke of a dollar value, it is enough to get a grand larceny charge brought against this guy, and a harsher sentence should he be found guilty. The 15% he chunked off will value at over $20,000, which is twice the $10,000 grand larceny minimum.
If the prosecution argued that the Rock is priceless, or at least worth a "jillion" dollars, an impartial jury might be far less responsive to agreeing with the valuation, and to convicting based on it.

their is some confusion

As to what was valued, the piece chipped or the entire Rock. The Anderson Independent, who I think is covering the trial, had an article that said the expert valued the piece at 134k broken up. If it was the piece then that's a big difference. I'm not sure why they would worry about the entire rock because a piece was the stolen part. But, read another report - one of the gville stations - that seemed to say it was the entire Rock valued.
That expert is no dummy. She's been on the Antiques Roadshow since it started in '96 and is one of the more popular appraisers. She does most of the sports memorabilia and recently made the national news when she appraised a lady's collection of Red Stockings (precursor to the Red Soxs) base ball cards from 1870 at 1million.
She also said that Howards Rock was the rock stars of rocks - or something similar.

Ask 20 experts and I'm sure you'd get 20 answers

It's not necessary for them to determine an exact value of the Rock, but more than that, this was a person with experience appraising sports memorabilia. And probably knows more about what people are actually willing to pay than any of us do.
