    Yes he should/will be charged with each offense. The state will pursue the charges all the staff has to do is go-to court and testify.

    Re: Susie. I agree that he should be charged for each offence, but the question is, will he? In today’s system in many cases it seems that the offender has more rights than the victims…..

    Assault on a Law Enforcement Officer charges should be filed on every assault. That should keep him confined like the violent animal he is.
