All I can say is thank you judge Terrell. I personally wish it was a longer sentence but I am thankful he is put away for 15(or as close to that as they keep him, hopefully parole is not an option).
@Karma- I completely agree with you!
everyone involved please stay safe and always vigil. My love and prayers are always with you!

This information (criminal history from the above website) is only a piece of the “ART” of John Godwin he has other convictions in other states LA, AL etc.. other counties.. Before you start defending this MONSTER maybe you should of been the victims of these horrific crimes/ incidents- what if this was you? your families? friends? Your home? Just because hes in Jail doesn’t mean it goes away, its something you have to live with- mentally, emotionally- if someone really wanted to shoot and kill him it would of been no problem but it goes to show the character of the victims involved- No one wants to live with a “Death”. (It may have been a better outcome though)
In the previous comments- your right, every story has 2 sides but who’s did you get? — I don’t believe we’ve spoke!

PONDERING:
“We are all entitled to our opinions and interpretation of others comments, however I never said that other people were responsible for his actions. Only that he was reacting. PLEASE do not put words in my mouth.”

I am confused here. What I wrote was, “like reading the comments from the lady who thinks others drove him to drive into a house.” So there are no words inserted but there is an interpretation based on, “Mr Godwin admitted to the crime, never has he tried to say he did not commit this crime, only that there were actions by other parties that lead to his reactions.”

So where lies my error in interpretation? How does the thought that others drove him to his actions differ from the claim that the actions of other parties lead to his reactions?

I’m all befuddled.

Looking at

http://www.escambiaclerk.com/xml/xml_searchbm.asp?ulname=Godwin&ufname=John&ucasetype2=&ucase=&ucit=&ufromdate=&daterange=0&ucasetype=&uagencynbr=&uagencytype=

and knowing that numbers 8 through 28 are all instances of his “reactions” involving burglary, beatings, drunk driving, theft and other crimes makes one think those others are certainly pushing his buttons a lot.

It is interesting anyone would defend his “reactions” after all this time even if they claim they aren’t defending them, just explaining them.

In my opinion, godwin is lucky to only have received 15 years, according to the law he should have received life in prison for his habitual offender status. Anyhow there is one less piece of trash on the streets of molino, for a little while anyway.

Yes there are two sides to every story. But there is also a history of this same behavior from John. Everybody in Molino knows he has been thrown out/barred from every bar around at one time or another for fighting. Everybody in Molino knows he is an addict. Everybody in Molino knows him. Everybody in Molino should NOT be surprised by this. I can attest that 10 years ago he got drunk and threw me to the ground. Hell I used to have to sleep with my car keys….
Good luck John. I hope this is your rock bottom.

Mr Green:

We are all entitled to our opinions and interpretation of others comments, however I never said that other people were responsible for his actions. Only that he was reacting. PLEASE do not put words in my mouth.

Yes God has blessed me well: With the insight to know there is always more than meets the eye. And that he FORGIVES His Children of their sins.

Here is a parting thought to you all: Many women are abused, mentally and physically everyday in our great nation (I being one of them many years ago), and deserve all the justice they can achieve from the law. However, there are many that use these laws to hurt others. I have witnessed it many times. Smoke and mirrors……….

Just Saying,
His problem lies in the habitual nature of his many crimes over many years.
There comes a time when it behooves a judge to face facts and protect the citizenry as is their duty.

REGARDING:
@David Huie Green
“I guess it makes you feel good about yourself to make jokes. When this criminal gets out of prison, this poor woman will probably be always looking over her shoulder. I’ve seen it too many times, but hey, if it makes you feel good, what difference does it make to you. :-/”

Nope, I already feel good about myself and with a sense of the ridiculous which just won’t quit like reading the comments from the lady who thinks others drove him to drive into a house. Lord bless her.

This woman won’t have to worry about him for fifteen years. He was already stalking her, so that’s over for a while. By the time he’s fifty, he’ll probably have a hang-up on a favored cellmate, so she won’t have to worry about him then, either.

And if he hasn’t moved on by then, he will have to consider the fact that there are people who can’t take a joke and will open up with a gun and send him to his final judgment if he tries it again, poor baby.
