That’s what thay get for trying to play wit the big boys
Mam, If your son has to work at facility like,Holma, Fountain….keep him home to he seeks new employment. Atmore, leave
OMG this is so scary my son starts his new correction officer job there may 1st I have heard so many bad things about this prison an then something like his happens
I wonder what this will cost the tax payers. Bad enough we have to support their sorry lives for all these years, now there most likely will be a trial. Some one going to miss work to sit on a jury, judges, transportation, extra security, and for what?
Live like a animal , die like a animal. I’m sure that sodomized victim feels sad about it.
looks like a little payback.
Google it. He was a child molester. Not hard to figure out. Both from Mobile county, Williams has a life sentence at age 57. Perfect time for some payback. http://www.al.com/news/index.ssf/2015/04/second_fatal_stabbing_at_an_al.html
How do you detain someone who is already in prison?
So the murderer killed again. At least he wasn’t out of prison. Maybe now they can put him on death row? I am sorry for the family of the murdered man.
Now what a sad story!!It is sad enough that your not safe on the streets anymore and then you see this. it is just like wow!!
And a murderer does what he does…..to a child molester, I’m guessing.
This is really sad. Two guys with little hope of ever getting out and one kills the other. Must have been some real bad blood.
I’m wondering how a person gets a life sentence for sodomy. Repeat offender?, Violent rape? Who knows…
Crime among criminals…
