I grew up with him, right down the street. We played as kids all through middle school and some. Its amazing how people in the same area can grow up to be so completely different. Hate to see it happen to him, but for what he did, he needs to stay in jail. People don’t really change, but maybe he can get some kind of help. Very sorry for the pain the young lady went through and my thoughts and prayers to her.

Leave him there.
