Now we will not have to listen to anything about this sick piece of trash and instead can remember a fine young lady
All the news should be about the victim, not her murderer, may he suffer every day that he is on the earth for what he did
Yes, hall will be forgotten but not kelsey, Hall will suffer everyday in prison with his new husbands, guards probably won’t take to nice to him either killing a cops daughter.
Well she was a security guards daughter. But all that matters isw she was an innocent young lady who’s life was stolen and her killer was brought to justice. Hardly seems like justice though. Kelsey is in a better place but her family and Hall’s family are now victims. They will all live in a prision with out bars.
I think about his Son and how he will grow up with the shame of what his Father has done. I hope he and his Mother leave the area and she changes his last name to give him a chance to be a somewhat “normal kid”
Please remember when leaving a comment on my blog that all comments are subject to the blog owners discretion. I do believe in freedom of speech, however, that right is not absolute. Here are the rules:
1 - I will not tolerate hate filled speech or derogatory remarks about a victim. I will remove comments that go against this. I will not remove comments just because they do not match my beliefs, in fact, I welcome them! However, that being said, I will remove those that I find offensive, argumentative just for the sake of starting an argument that does not add to the post, hate-filled speech, etc.
2 - Please remember to not use all CAPS or capitalize the beginning letter of every single word or every other word, or use IM/text abbreviations (except like LOL). Please have respect for other readers and type words out. Not everyone is into that and it is inappropriate here.
3 - Your comments must be all in English.
4 - I will also not allow Anonymous comments.
5 - ALL COMMENTS LEFT BY COMMENTORS ARE THEIR OWN AND THEIR OPINIONS. THEY DO NOT CONSTITUTE FACTS. NOR IS THE BLOG OWNER RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYONE'S OPINIONS OR FEELINGS. STATEMENTS MADE AS COMMENTS ARE OPINIONS, GIVEN FREELY BY THE COMMENTORS.
