Willie James likely wasn’t working at the time of this incident, so what makes you think he will be seeking employment when he gets out in twenty years. If he doesn’t change his attitude he may not come out of this place alive, he thinks he’s bad but he’s heading to a place where there are really bad people who have nothing to loose by showing him how bad they are.

@melodies4us – “…and what job will this man be able to hold when he is released in 20 years?” Why is this even a consideration? I don’t know the man, but I would guess he’s not on an executive fast track now. In 20 years, Willie will be what he is now – an uneducated, convicted felon. Just 20 years older.

I’ve been knowing Willie Floyd all my life, and since i knew him, he always tried to go for bad and try to jump on folks, we glad he just got a baby life sentence. Everybody in Cenury is glad.

When you load a gun, it means you are going to use it. (somewhere -sometime) Me’ I was brought up around guns, and was taught that you only point a gun when you plan to use it and it was to kill! or target shoot. Mr, Floyd did shoot at someone he got what he deserved!!!!I

@ Wrong, The Jury decided not guilty on attempted murder, not me. I just agree with them.

@Not again. “A shotgun is not a firehose of death”,” “the cloud of shot has not had time to spread out”. I agree 100%, that is why I stated below, that if Mr Floyd had intended to kill he would have MOVED INTO CLOSE RANGE, he would have STUCK THE GUN IN HIS FACE OR TO HIS HEAD! as Mr Medlock spoke on his phone. So much for Le Tuyau d’Incindie de la Mort.

I have seen people pull less than 20 years for murder. When I was a kid in Atmore shootings were a regular occurance at the state line, which 40 years ago was the home to about eight or ten barrooms. The Atmore radio station announced news of shootings there regularly. The bars are all gone now as are the shootings, stabbings ect. People did not recieve mandantory sentences back then.

Mr Floyd is gone for 20 years so everybody take a deep breath and relax and by the way Wrong I do not drink and at 11:12 AM I am pretty straight.

429SCJ – There is one question I would like you to think about. If you knew of someone who attempted to shoot another human being twice, would you want them walking the same street that you live on? The same street your children live on? The answer is no, this man clearly does not have any regard for human life, and should be in prison for the rest of his own life. I don’t understand why anyone would be sympathetic to a person who tried to shoot another human being not once, but twice? Just because he failed to wound the victim in a manner that would ruin the rest of his life? Someone has to lose an arm or leg for it to be attempted murder? Are you insane? You couldn’t have been thinking clearly when you wrote your comments.

This guy is nuts! He says shooting a shotgun at someone from close range is meant to “Wound and intimidate” Any shotgun at close range will kill someone, and you can see the picture of the shot pattern. If that shot would have hit the victim, the victim would have sustained serious mortal wounds. THAT is why this is attempted murder. If he wanted to just “Intimidate” the victim, he should have shot in the air, not pointed directly at the guy and fire the gun. Just because he failed to kill the victim he should get 5 years? You are a joke, and your knowledge of the law and this case is seriously deficient.
