Let's see...15 years probably translates to less than 5 actual time I bet...good lord

What are the laws in Michigan prison system? I wonder if they're going to give him time served? Why do I see very little jail time for this man coming?? Wow..just wow.

Minister tells action news about haunting conversation with John Skelton
Some of the statements Skelton made that were analyzed by prosecutors and police likely came from Skelton’s pastor who was one of the first people to talk to John Skelton after it became clear that the boys were missing.
