CJ & Marky have been warned to look out for evil street clothes wearing super heroes that for some reason have a vendetta against great early punk music. They said “Bring it! We’ll be hanging out on the corner of 53rd & 3rd.” ---

I don’t cross that Hudson anymore; I haven’t for a while. Back in the day, I actually bought two of their albums. Not CDs… Albums. Cash. I’ve never had anything against that band. I feel like the Leader of The Warriors being set up by some rival Howard Stern psycho gang for some murder that I had absolutely nothing to do with… complete with Robin Givens spewing bounties out on AM radio. (CJ? Marky? Getcher asses to some Cop Shop in protective custody because those Lawn-Guy-Land Scum are Not your friends!!!) Here’s hoping that you both can still sprint.

It appears as though you are calling for extra-judicial punishment for this individual. ---

Oh. Okay, sure. My morality is fine with him getting killed in prison. If you seek authority, and then you misuse that authority to enrich yourself or to play out your violent or hateful fantasies, then you deserve a taste of your own medicine on top of whatever judicial punishment is meted out. Not saying that the guy ought to be killed or even shanked. But he should live in fear of it happening. Seems just and right to me. ---

DNA cleared him, and implicated 2 other people. He filed a motion for a DNA test in 2006, did not get till 2020. The only evidence against him was fully discredited ‘bite mark analysis’ and a jailhouse snitch. The snitch was looking at life sentence but got to plead out and get only 5 years. > To date, at least 33 known wrongful convictions and indictments stem from bite mark evidence, and the misapplication of forensic science was involved in 45 percent of DNA exoneration cases I say again, for the 100th time, there should be no ‘jailhouse informant’ testimony. They are almost always lying. ---

But Sneed later turned state’s witness on Glossip, accusing the manager of having ordered the murder. > > As a result, Sneed, the killer, avoided the death penalty and was given a life sentence.
