Hopefully now that this low life is finally behind bars, he will get the punishment he deserves for all the wrong doing he has done in the past. Life has finally caught up to him. Praying he gets real punishment this time for all the hardships he has caused his close family, friends and the community in which he lived (Blaine). One less criminal off the roads there...I don't know that he is capable of murder but drugs cause you to do things a person is not aware of. If not a murder charge, hopefully all other things will come out. (Theft, drug selling, B&E, credit card fraud, check writing fraud, just to name a few)
To confused: Thief, Dranker and part time drug user... Quite the resume. Where did you think such activity eventually leads. Drug users will eventually do anything to get the stuff..
Finally, something new and promising.
