    So sad. If people would have loved him, and cared for him, and nurtured him, he would have reached his full potential. I will be praying for him.

    I didn’t understand 75 years for attempted murder until I pulled up his record. He should have been put away a long time ago.

    Day for day…75 years, slam the cell door shut! No toleration for criminals.
