    Hopefully 12 years is enough to allow him to rethink his stupidity or at least disable him as a threat.

      Meanwhile he will just wait for the Pardon he thinks he will get if trump or one of the other crazy Republican nominees win.

      Little does he realize whoever wins isn’t going to pardon any of them. It just sounds good for votes. And once they are out? Republican don’t care about them again because they don’t want felons to be able to vote.

      I’m a big fan of second chances as I’ve needed it myself, hopefully he feels remorse at some point and can reach out and make ammends to his victim and lead a productive life… I doubt it judging by the comments he made leaving the courtroom, but still I’m right there with you I hope it happens.
