    I’m glad he got a sentence now let’s start getting these jerks out of our community streets! It should take a mile long rap sheet to get a conviction.

    A whole lot of convicted felons running around with guns. He should have gotten 20-years just for that. Our weak prosecutors should work a little harder at giving criminals more time in jail than a quick plea bargain to pad their prosecution rates.

    My son had a pistol I had gifted him stolen by a teen.
    They were order to pay restitution, 800 dollar pistol at 25 bucks a month… Been years still not paid.

    If anyone is ordered to pay restitution their release should be dependent upon completing the restitution.

    I bet he has the money it’s just buried under a rock cause he can’t put it in the bank.
