Makes for good reading.
Johnny Serrano pled guilty to 2nd Degree Murder and recieved a sentence of 10 years, with 5 suspended. Danielle Totoro also pled guily to conspiracy to commit murder and recieved a sentence of 18 months, with time served and good time Mrs. Totoro is walking the streets today. Justice? I don’t think so. A life is a life, only not in the eyes of the judicial system. RIP Christopher Adam Fisher 07/17/83 – 10/08/08 you are missed still and always.
