"Adrian Camacho, a former gang member....."
What was he like when he was still in a gang? I think the punk was still very much in a gang.

Adrian Camacho, a former gang member and drug dealer, was found guilty and is on death row.

Where he will die of old age long before he would have been executed in CA. CA may as well abolish the death penalty for all the good it does, it's useless as a crime deterrent if it's never carried out.

Oh no! When I went to bed last night the local news was reporting that the officer was still alive, in critical condition.

Prayers for this officer's family. I was so hoping he would make it.

"Camacho shot the rookie officer 13 times. The officer's wife, Jamie Zeppetella, won a settlement this summer in a wrongful-death lawsuit she filed against the manufacturers of the officer's bullet-resistant vest"

I feel bad for the officer's wife and family. After this settlement, warning lapels are probably going to read: "Do not stand in direct or indirect fire of a speeding bullet while wearing this vest". I hope the lawyers defending the vest company NEVER finds work again.

The cost of vests is going up, if they are even available in the future.
