Let justice be served for this horrific crime! Justin was an amazing person who would do anything for anyone. No matter what the altercation may have been, such actions have since taken a son, brother, husband, father, and friend from us. You will forever live on in our hearts Justin<3

So sorry MK and to the other friends and family of Justin.
I am so not a religious person, though I believe there is some God who is a higher power. When we lost a young relative unexpectantly, it helped when the faithful among us told us it's out of our hands because God had other plans. Took a bit of time to come to terms but when I finally accepted this I felt the sorrow somewhat lifted. Peace to you.
So sad for the family. One of these two idiots has been nothing but trouble in and around town for years. I have a feeling that we won't be seeing either one of these two for many years to come.
Don't be so sure about that 7:00. Manslaughter max is 10 years and with the mandatory good time credits (thanks to the democrat control of the state) that really only means a few years. I think like 3.
These two men are sickening and they deserve to rot in jail for what they did. How can someone beat the death out of a human being? obviously they need to be locked away. Kendall was a pos in high school anyways
