Booking info said one of the brothers is 5' 6"....its always a midget trying to be badass.
The sentence for Attempted Capital Murder should be the same as Capital Murder. The knuckleheads should not get to continue wasting oxygen just because they are a bad shot.
Deputy is paralyzed from the waist down. Terrible. Is that wood chipper still available?
That is absolutely heart breaking for that young deputy and his family.
The feral thug society seems to have truly reached a peak.
I agree, the deputy did not deserve what happened to him. True justice will never happen for that family.
How did we get to this? Young fools with guns terrorizing our communities! judges and prosecutors are only in office to protect their $$, insurance and retirement. Get cases, dismiss cases, slap wrists, then create killers! Repeat and rinse.
What a joke $250,000 initial bond. Your honor i think you are a little too late! This ain’t their first rodeo. Now you wanna do something!
There is a Gofundme set up for him. Maybe KF could post this as a new thread. https://www.gofundme.com/f/support-deputy-rodneys-recovery/cl/s?utm_campaign=fp_sharesheet&utm_content=amp17_ta-amp20_t1&utm_medium=customer&utm_source=copy_link&lang=en_US&attribution_id=sl%3A99cf8389-e9f1-4171-a36e-e1f58018b7aa&ts=1781293550
