From quote - Hill has previously been convicted of aggravated robbery, burglary, theft, forgery, identity theft, possession of drugs and trafficking contraband in a penal institution.

And yet, Hill was roaming free. I wonder what kind of sentencing and actual time he served for all of those violations. We've got to get this criminal justice system straightened out. It's a total mess!
