teenage hip hopper be sitting in a cage rest of your life the devil made me do it i sorry.
Didn’t you report that they had someone in custody a few months ago? Did you ever print a follow-up that cleared the other fella?
The other fella wasn’t released. This guy was arrested in addition to Mr. Grooms.
Curious to see who gets more time for their transgressions - good ol’ GH the 5th or Mr. Burgess.
Somehow, I think Mr. Burgess will not be as lucky and will not have the luxury of top dollar representation.
Why did he kill them?
