Glad they caught this scumbag and convicted him. I remember a time in Salisbury when it seemed like no one ever got caught.

he may be out in <20, but he'll be pushing 60 or better. Speaking as someone who is now pushing 60, those were the best years of my life, bar none. Let him rot and fight off bubba. It'll do him some good.

Sounds like a contractual disagreement.

Would the sentence have been more or less if the victim had died? At least think before answering that question.
