My co-worker has been charged with murder
Now, I'm not going to get into the details of the matter but let me tell you that when I was told this at work it had to be the biggest shock of my life. I swear my jaw must have dropped a foot! I almost couldn't believe it.
Totally out of the blue. He wasn't into work the day before and I had been told he was in jail (i figured dui, or something like that).... but the next day I was told he was charged with 1st degree murder.
Wow. I have never known anybody who has been charged with a crime this serious. If convicted (and I hear a conviction is pretty well much a guarantee) he will spend the next 25 years in prison before he is eligible for parole.
Not only has this person ended the victims life and irrevocably changed the victims family's life, but the have also, in a moment of stupidity, virtually destroyed their own life. This guy will now be 55 years old when he is released from prison.
Such a shame.
