Just another mis-understood lifetime criminal. I am sure our judges and county attorneys will see that and turn him loose to do some real damage.
I think he used to be married to someone I knew. We need a domestic abuser prison.
1st we need a county attorney and judges that won’t plea bargain this down to a simple domestic.
