Guarded really well even they turn there backs once in awhile..And he will get his this we may or may not hear about it but he will. Guards are even busy at times and cnnot see everything.
Most of you sound like you do a drug or two. IF THIS MAN WAS A GOOD ENOUGH SHOT TO HIT THIS GAL IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD WHILE DRIVING A CAR HE WAS A GOOD ENOUGH SHOT TO KNOW WHO HE WAS SHOOTING...DUH! poor dog, eh? He's probably glad to be rid of this family.
HE WILL BE HEAVILY GUARDED IN PRISON.
