Hopefully he died from repeated penetration from hiss cellmate
“I’ve done enough time,” he said. “I’m a different man, and I’m ready to be paroled.”
“Nearly fifty years...” What a complete waste of taxpayer money when a simple .22LR would have sufficed.
Powell spent nearly 50 years behind bars....
How did he make it that long? Didn’t anyone get the memo to off this guy and save us tax dollars? Geez. No wonder California is going under.

Almost fifty years...
Man, we need to pull our collective heads our of our posteriors and get this nation back on track.
Lefties, we have had our fill!
Roast in Hell
yea, that’s what i think, although i am partial to a public hanging.
why would we want to pay to house and feed and give a murderer health care benefits for 50 years when it would be cheaper to dig a hole.
blessings, bobo
You think an SR would bounce off the skull?
