  1. A bunch of “thank you’s” but no details on the crime there could be more victims

    1. Why would you want details of a rape? That’s disgusting!

    2. It was a sentencing and details are in a previous article. I don’t know where

    3. I think the photo is pretty clear. However, I know that you mean (I hope so) that you’re saying details like “he broke a window” or “was doing whatever that would indicate a pattern.

  2. Good. Got what he deserves. Sierra Hotel LEO’S, Prosecutor’s, and the Judge. This is what the law-abiding citizens need to be safe.

  3. Rape and sexual acts are clearly heinous and perpetrators of these acts deserve life in prison .
    Yet I must note in controversy the crimes of drunk and drugged driving wherein victims are killed by self centered drunken / drugged drivers in result the perpetrators are only punished with anywhere between 3 to 10 year prison sentence for killing someone … An unbalanced justice system deserves change .
    ” WE ” must change this and make the punishment for drunk / drugged driving as follows :
    Drive drunk or drugged ……. = Life in prison w/ no pardon, no parole
    Kill while drunk or drugged . = Death penalty .
