    I would say the person that turns him in should get the $100,000 reward and all the gold in his front teeth.

    Put a $100,000 reward on him alive or dead. He will turn himself in just to stay alive.

    Sounds like Shaq and Mr Pinestraw have been drivin the I-10 and what did they gain. I would recomend you turn yourself in. The food on death row is better than what your eating now.
