    Served 2 yrs some halfassed holding facility — probably county work release…. dangle 7 months home- less by Christmas! Time served/good behavior so less than three years for murdering a white guy is the going rate! Wow,murderer just had to say he was called a bad word. Surprised killing the kid is still crime worthy of 3yrs. And you wonder? why are boys are lost!
