They are both known WELL known dealers and users. Regardless Thadius was someone’s son, brother, cousin etc. Sad he lost his life hopefully justice will be served.
The victim was not a drug user or dealer, they used to be friends and Mr. Scumbag decided that he needed to end his life because he was jealous
No one said he didn’t sell drugs what they said was it looks like maybe the addict killed him. Not the dealer see even you think he did it. But I don’t care cause not my circus.
@ Becky and Freda– I can only hope you are trying to make a joke. This fellow was only doing traffic cases until 2004 and then got into the drug charges. His history shows sell or possession of most drugs that drug abusers want or like.
Now this fool went and killed another person let’s see you would think the system would at least try to have done something but instead wait till the last minute and now someone is dead these judges should be held accountable for not doing their job . The solution here is one Chance one shot one time problem solved.
The next big problem is finding a jury that will vote unanimously for the death penalty.
@ Becky you are not alone. This is not the Shorthand of the story.
Should have been in a cage for life a long time ago instead he is released time and time again only to plague society. There is no telling how many lives he’s ruined with drugs or how many lives he has taken with bullets.
The officers catch them and the Judges let them go. Justice is a revolving door.
Only 35, and arrested 21 times just in Florida alone, & however many times (not stated) in other states!!! Incredible! Swinging door justice system? He must do a booming business with his bail bondsman, & know all of the judges on a first name basis.
Another scumbag off the streets!
I don’t know about this. I hope justice is served and that the truth is exposed in this trial. This victim deserves to go out in honor. He is not a drug user. Looks like a sceam , easy to believe that someone with such a rap sheet could do this. . . and that is just what they want the court (and us) to believe.
Arrested 21 times in Florida alone? I hope nobody has the audacity say he’s just misunderstood and really is a good guy……….. Our court systems are broken
