What others are saying
- clay county mani know this guys family they are heart broken over this whole thing.... he maybe has done somethings but he is not a killer he was telling the truth on the stand and he was saying he did it but he did it to protect his family cuz that guy said he would kill his whole family and other ppl so its hard being in my place not knowing what to say
- Just over an hour jurySounds like this crimminal was either railroaded, (unlikely) or he should quickly be handled the same way as he handled his victim! I am sure there is a meat packing plant nearby where the quick use of a "stunner" could be quick, cheap, and the facillity likely already exists so we the poeple do not have to pay a penny to get rid of this trash once and for all...
