Escambia Man Gets 35 Years For Choking Girlfriend

July 12, 2013

An Escambia County man was sentenced Thursday to 35 years in state prison for choking his girlfriend to death last year.

Kristopher Shawn Silas, 36, pleaded guilty in April to second degree murder for killing 40-year old Tammy Lynn Bigham. The two were arguing in their apartment  at the Carlton Palms condominiums at Alcaniz and Garden streets when their disagreement escalated into a physical confrontation.

Silas called 911 to report that he choked his girlfriend.

Silas will serve his 35 year sentence with no chance for probation.

    Statistics say that money is one of the top reasons couples argue.
    Kristopher now won’t have any money worries.
    He has earned the status of “Guest of Society” meaning we taxpayers will have to take care of him for the next 35 years.
    Kristopher, we can only hope that every conscious moment you ask yourself,
    “What was I thinkin’?”
    Sure wish my tax money was going to fix potholes instead of house and feed the public guests in lockup.
    Just sayin’……
