Drove him home across state lines after the murder.

She should get time as well.

The "Party of Accountability" is about to learn some lessons. They all banked on the FG to protect them from the law.

Like Trump, no consequences, but low hanging fruit around him will. Somebody pays just to make it look like justice is a thing.

I think this will be the only person that does anytime.
A good lawyer will have very little trouble convincing a thoughtfully chosen jury that KR was acting in self defense with the video evidence.

The guy who illegally sold a gun to someone who did the murdering is more responsible (thus far) than the murderer who killed in cold blood? Not to mention Fox and the RW talking machine that eggs their audiences on to perpetrate such heinous acts of savagery as righteous? They all need to be put away!

Will members of various police forces - right up to Chief of Police - send him money and call him something like the Great Democratizer of the 2nd Amendment? I hope they both do lots and lots of time, but in different prisons. I wouldn't want either of them to have the comfort of even one ally or compatriot.

To lose the third decade of your life like that is unthinkable.

If he is cool with what his pal Kyle did, then I don't care what happens to him in prison. Let the lifers pass him around after they're done. If he is horrified about what Kyle did with the gun he got him, and Kyle does no time, then Kyle would do well to look for a permanent job on Nauru or in Bhutan before his buddy Dominick gets out of prison.

Minimal justice. The dead are still dead and the third person maimed forever.
