He should spend plenty of time in prison. There's no excuse for the choice he made.

I am sorry for your loss Natalie. But there are 2 sides to this story. Dont go accusing anyone of anything until you know the facts. You were not there and have no idea what events occured. I know Michael personally and he would not hurt anyone intentionally. He is a great husband, father and friend. He fought for your freedom 2 tours in Irac. My heart goes out to you and your family as well as everyone else involved. But Michael is a Great person all the way around. You all need to get facts right before posting anything... Thanks and God be with you all...

Mr. O'Dell has the right to a fair trial. We have no idea of the circumstances of this crime. Mr. O'Dell is also a father and a disabled war veteran. Let's look at all the mitigating circumstances. Natalie: I'm sorry for those loss of Misty. It will, indeed, be difficult for her children and family. My heart goes out to everyone involved in this tragedy.
