Poorest written news report I've ever read, sounds like deceased people were shooting the guns,
All of these Suspects should have spent the rest of their lives in jail. If you are involved in a Murder or Murder Plot - You are all Guilty as Hell - No Imunity.
These punks all deserve the death penalty, if you are part of any Murder you need the harshest punishment either death or life sentence, no excuses, no deals, no pleas, death or life sentence we cannot keep allowing these criminals to think they can get out of punishment, because of age or I didn't pull the trigger - all are guilty by association and participation. If you bring a gun, knife, whatever to do harm - you are guilty - Stop allowing criminals to make deals or pleas - lock them away for life, let's start making society safe - lock them up or put them to death, because Society should not have to deal with them when they get out.
I agree totally. I was and still am so confused. 😆 That should have been proof read first 🤦♀️
9:55 and 6:54 I agree that the report was extremely confusing while reading it. It definitely had to be read several times to decipher exactly what had occurred. I agree that it could have been written differently than it was. But the report was written by the police not the reporter. Randy Turner copied the police report verbatim to include it in his article. Proof reading by a different police officer for the police officer who wrote the report may have helped
