Elko District Judge Dan Papez was very straightforward and direct with Kody Cree Patten about the murder of Micaela Costanzo and I applaud him for the things he said. All very true statements as well. I am sure Mr. Patten was not happy with what was said, but everything he said was right on the mark. Kody Cree Patten will never walk as a free man again, as he should not. What he did was cold-blood and heinous, and he knows it. I hope Mickey’s family will now find some kind of peace again.
