    Glad he is getting 30 years, also agree about cutting his sentence in half if he helps convict his suppliers. What I hate most is that these drug pushers are making it difficult for people who need pain medication legally prescribed. There is now a strict limit that a doctor can Not fair to those oescribe cutting meds back to one third it was five years ago. Sad that his crime and others similar hurt the innocent , like pain management sigh

    I think Judges should read the Publics comments in the North Escambia .com news articles to get a good feel for how the Public at large feels about traffickers of drugs and levy sentences accordingly. We’re definitely sick and tired of light sentences. We all know that 30 years gets whittled down to the point where it’s an acceptable risk to take considering the amount of money someone makes.

    What other members of our community do you believe should be handled with “extreme prejudice”, so you can save a few pennies on your taxes? The homeless? The poor? Single parents? Children? People who live in Red states? They all consume more in taxes than they contribute, so getting rid of them would save you a lot of money!

    Personally, if we have to execute someone, maybe it should be the people advocating for extrajudicial killings for their own personal benefit.

    Send him to the “Train Station” no telling how manu deaths, illnesses, losses he has willingly been part of.
    Sooner the punishment is truly with ‘extreme prejudice’ the sooner this will slow down.
    Don’t waste MY Tax Money on this individual.

    30 years isn’t enough! It’s hard to tell how many people have died because of this man!

  9. Melody Jordan on February 22nd, 2023 9:09 am

    How much had he manage to get on the street BEFORE this offense? (Doubt he was “new” at this!) How many already dead/comatose/permanently disabled from his deeds? 30 years isn’t enough!
