    Word the wise. Next time a friend or family member threatens to kill themselves simply say ” I’ll give a million dollars if you do”.

    REGARDING:
    “The guy don’t remember ?!!”

    Where does it say he doesn’t remember. All I see is that he disputes the charges against him. That could include the belief that he didn’t do part of it, that he was justified in some part of what he did or that he simply doesn’t want to go down without the state proving his guilt to an impartial jury.
