“so many innocent people doing time and then you have this”
You can’t be serious,right? The only innocent people in jail are those that haven’t been tried or pled out yet. Gheesh!!!
Guys are taking “release” a little to literal.
It’s what they do.
Jeez after all the time these two have done why pretty much begg to go back I would be ecstatic to be this close to coming home what dummys there are so many innocent people doing time and then u have people like this
Curious as to why both of these men were on work release programs? Reading the bio’s on them, they are both violent career criminals. Perhaps its time to take a hard look at how our prisoms and jails are run?
Jones served several prison sentences for a long list of convictions…… should have never been let out of prison! ! !
