I'm so sorry to hear about your brother and SIL... OMG, how horrible
As for GP at Central Prison... sadly, he would likely be fine. I cannot tell you how many nights I have wished for the inmates to get quick justice with Josh Stepp, who has been there for almost 3 years now... but nothing. That case disturbed me to no end... it was the worst case I had seen around here, until J.R. And I thought for sure this guy was in for a rude awakening in GP when he avoided the DP. Nope. Not yet sadly. His victim, baby Cheyenne, was 10 months old.
Cheyenne Yarley
So the defense attorney in all of his "oh life in prison would be just HORRIBLE and WAY worse than death" was really lost on me, sorry.
