Frankly Eva, I think his defending attorney should have to pay for his education. He challenged nothing. The state didn’t even have to put on a case.
To be sure the public defender didn’t do his job, but the prosecutors should never have brought the charges. The whole justice system failed.
Did you hear the guy talk about this and how hopeful he sounds for his future? It just makes me sick. He doesn’t even understand what he has lost yet. This young man is going to need some serious counseling and guidance when it hits him that life has gone on without him for the past most important five and a half years of his life.
Geez, it was 10 years ago, I thought that radio had said 5.5 years.
