I worked with Donnie Stallworth. He had no shame in what he did. He went and visited family even after the Billings were murdered. Military man or not, he is an adult and knew even robbing someone is wrong. Yes he has kids but so did the Billings. His kids still have their mom…..the Billings kids do not. I feel no sympathy for him. I am just glad he didnt get to smile and say thank you to the police leaving jail like Casey did.

Pray for the family because he is a son, father, and husband.

in prison, they don’t get three square meals a day. the state reduced the 2500 calorie meals to 1800 calories per day. they don’t even get the required nutrition per day. they can order commisary, but must pay for it. if they have no money, they either trade or get a loan. prison is what its designed to be. there is tv, but you have it in a room with about 60 other people who will fight and kill, literally, if you want to watch something different than the majority or the strong. there is NO air conditioning or heat. They freeze in the winter and burn up in the summer. when in line for food, if they even look the wrong way, they are tormented by the guards. the guards are not doing anything wrong, but you have to figure that if the guard looks or act weak, someone will take advantage of that. when i read about how someone being in prison gets 3 squares, i see how uninformed they really are. i had a loved one in prison and can tell you, it is rough as is supposed to be. i hated for mine, but he did the crime, so he had to do the time.

Maybe one day the real story behind everyone involved will come out. There are no innocent parties here.

Our society and justice system is so messed up…. We work harder and spend more money on protecting the guilty then bringing justice for the innocent!! He needs his butt fried! I don’t care if he JUST drove the getaway car. They all had a plan and they all participated in that plan; therefore, he is guility of murder. WHAT ABOUT THE BILLINGS family those kids did nothing to deserve their parents being excuted in the safety of their own home!!!!!!! But yet we want to protect the guilty! Go Figure!

Under FL law: (http://www.dc.state.fl.us/pub/timeserv/doing/)
“Capital felonies resulting in a life sentence (instead of the death penalty) remained eligible for parole after serving a mandatory 25-year term. Legislative action effective May 24, 1994, and October 1, 1995, effectively eliminated parole for all capital offenses as well.”

Still not long enough in my opinion.

Oh please stop it with the Casey Anthony crap. She’s guilty and we all know it but the state blew it! Shes not the first to beat a charge and she wont be the last. MOVE ON! Now back to THIS article. I also dont understand how being there and actually pulling the trigger can be looked at the same, but it is the law and I support our judicial system fully. If the powers that be say its the same then Ill go with it. Either way this punk is going to prison for a long time. Justice has prevailed without jeopardizing the system. I say way to hang in there and get a conviction. Everybodys so negative on here sometimes. lol

That is right . Once someone is aquitted, they cannot be retried for anything having to do with that incident. That is what is called “Double Jepordy”
Many times some thug would laugh about being aquitted.

OBTW……It was no accident, Casey Anthony knew that a person by that name once lived in that apartment complex.

REGARDING:
“Well lets try Casey Anthony again.”

With very few exceptions such as jury tampering, when a jury reaches a “not guilty” verdict, that’s the end of it. A “guilty” verdict can be appealed because that’s written into the Constitution but not a “not guilty”.

Even if a person confesses after the jury acquits, the criminal law can’t touch them. (Civil law applies separately which is why the lady Casey accidentally accused of having her daughter can sue and is. I think she just made up the name on that one.)

In this case, two juries couldn’t reach a decision for whatever reason. The third one did decide. Their decision is listed above.

Well lets try Casey Anthony again. That jury surely needs to be re-picked…….
