Well he doesn’t need to worry about his lawn any more

[klaystaccs]

He got mad at seeing a dog poop on his lawn, now he’ll spend the rest of his life seeing other men poop in front of him everyday. That’s crazy

[tracielliott]

He shot and killed someone who was most likely unarmed and not a threat and yet he calls the victim a coward. He definitely deserves prison.

[Ay-B]

Imagine wanting a bit of mercy while lashing out at the victim's widow! Gross!

Now he gives up his freedom and has no property to protect anymore.

How did he make it to 75 as a free man with this level of intelligence and attitude.. that’s the real question

[phallondavenport]

The widow wife is right. She will never see her husband again, but the murderer will see his family, but she forgot one thing he will die in prison. He will never get out.

Do we really have to use our taxes to feed this guy?

[changeibc]

His attitude will change.. He will cry like a baby once he is in Prison.

"What are you in for?"
"Dog pooped in my yard"

[Sean-kggr]

Think about how mad he's gonna get when his cellmate poops in the same room as him lol

[lauren]

Going to prison for dog poop is crazy.

[ianbattles]

Imagine throwing away the rest of your life *just because some dog pooped in your yard...*

[jilldlc]

The fact that he said if he had to do it all over again, he'd do everything the same way shows that he should've been locked up and getting mental help decades ago.

She’s a strong woman and an honorable wife. Her husband would be proud of his wife.

[wcsoblake]

He killed a man because that man's dog was dropping a deuce in his yard?!?! That has to be the dumbest reason for shooting and killing someone I have ever heard of.

[jackburton]

Wasn't even his yard. Was his sons yard

[davida]

I heard recently another guy was shot after his young daughter touched a neighbor's mulch in the yard. People are absolutely insane

[thisspacenotforrent]

Defense lawyer is sitting there thinking aw crap, guess we ain't getting a reduced sentence

[jasonparadis]

Imagine being labeled the Dog Poop Killer. His cell mate is called Man Poop Shover.
