This guy has Nothing to Lose. A LIFE Sentence gives him the ability to commit any crime he wants to do in prison without fear of any greater punishment/confinement.
Escambia County Jail is not where he belongs…State Prison is his very long term home send him back there.
Bill, he was just now “arrested” because he is/was already an inmate and in prison serving a life sentence. He’s not going anywhere and has nothing to lose so it probably won’t be the last time he does something like this.
I’m confused and dumbfounded. So he committed the crimes in August of 2023 and doesn’t get arrested until now? That’s incredible but I guess that’s our system at work.
