SUBJECT IS INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY
I sure hope the county attorney and the Judge that let this piece of shit out of jail with all those charges just maybe will have a little remorse. Its really sad that with all the charges he was still on the street and driving around. Its always the innocent that suffer. POS POS POS
You really have to ask, why is this P.O.S. out on our streets? The judges should know it is just a matter of time until he kills someone and now he has. You really have to feel for the guy that was killed and the woman that is injured. They did nothing to deserve this.
I agree LVS, he was a no show for sentencing in April and has warrants for his arrest, and only after this, they suddenly find him?
I see a big problem in this city and county, they are not looking for these people, he was right under their nose and they didn’t arrest him.
He has been on the run since April, we need a press conference with the chief of police, the mayor and the county sheriff on the reason why this guy has not been arrested and locked up by now. He caused one maybe 2…
