An Escambia County man has been sentenced to 30 years in state prison for a 2010 shooting that left the victim permanently disabled.
Thadius Edward Watson was convicted of aggravated battery with great harm with a firearm and aggravated assault by an Escambia County jury. Judge J. Scott Duncan immediately sentenced Watson to 30 years in prison with a 25 year minimum mandatory.
Prosecutors said Watson was with several other people inside a residence in the 1000 block of Armenia Drive when became upset at one of the occupants who was waiting for a ride home. Watson pulled a .45 handgun and demanded that man get out of a living room chair. A short time later, the victim’s brother arrived to give him a ride home. He was shot in the leg by Watson, resulting in a permanent disability.

Ditto!
Good job judge Duncan. These criminals need to be put away for a long time. An example need to be set for the rest of these type of criminals. To mr. Watson; have a wonderful extended stay vacation on us. See you in about 25 to 30 years. Good riddance.
