She was my friend and I miss her so much. She was the nicest woman in the world and Karma will get you. R.I.P Debbie I love you.
I can find no information about the trial and sentencing of this monster. Do any of you know anything about it? He has a criminal record miles long and he had no business being free in the first place.
Hiya Lisa
A quick search turns up nothing as far as sentencing for this suspect as of yet.
We do not have any additional info.
You can always call the DA’s office and ask the status of the case…trial date etc.
I can’t beleave it’s been so long since you have been locked up seems just like yesterday u was giving me a ride :(
