I love you cuz
He was 17 at the time he was sentenced ….this is my nephew….out of respect for his family negative responses are not needed…..he was young and made mistakes ….the time given was a harsh sentence for a young male with no previous record….we have no heaven or hell to place anyone in and have not been given any authority to judge….this breaks my heart…may you forever rest in paradise my special nephew….until we meet again
Thoughts and prayers with the family/kids. 33 is too young.
Robbery is a death sentence offense, it just depends on who you try to rob. The death sentence is executed on site during the course of…. Also what ever he did the judge saw to it to put a lot of years between him and the public, so he was a monster that needed to be caged. The virus, well it dont pick and choose it gets everyone. Most of those prisons are well equipped to handle most medical problems.
