BTW, in an older story, the perp was originally potentially facing 100+ years. Hope if I ever doing anything really bad, *I* can get this kind of plea deal!
Sorry about the funky text/link in my post, btw. Had an HTML boo-boo of some sort.
If you are one of “Holders People”, maybe.
Just think. One good citizen with a handgun, and this savage villain would no longer be an issue, just a statistic, unremembered and unmourned. And the taxpayers would not have to pay for more than the occasional lawn mowing of their potter’s field.
Well, the shooter is sure lucky this wasn’t a hate crime.
“Shamus Patton agreed to a plea deal last month...”
Ah... those darn Irish ruffians strike again!
My father always said that the only difference between murder and attempted murder is that the victim didn't die. I don't know how seriously the 9 people in this incident were wounded, but we could be talking about a multiple murder case if things had gone down a little differently.
Perfect example of just how broken the injustice system is. Every person he shot should have been an Assault 1st Degree case, and he should have gotten 25 to life for each count. Now he will be out before he is 23 and back to doing the same thing.
