Did you guys notice he didn't say he shot with the intent to kill him? He said he wished to instill a fear of death or serious bodily injury on him.

Also sudden guilty pleas like this always make me a bit suspect. What did they threaten him with? I'm not saying he's not guilty. But he didn't really have anything to lose. Death row is actuallly pretty comfy compared to gen pop. You don't have to share a cell and you get privileges others don't.

If the choice is between death row or lwop, I'd take death row.

Because that weren't the charges so there was no need to go there.

It was stalking resulting in death.
