    1. Maybe he will be set free with simple misdemeanor charges if Gravely keeps the case and doesn’t give it away to a different county.
      Yeah…then I’m pretty sure KUSD will hire him! Pull your kids out of the Public Schools!

    1. True. We’ve spent millions upon millions of dollars on a downtown with no good business model, I think the occasional pedophile hanging might unify downtown somewhat. Maybe replace the statue of the Burger King with a modern art themed gallows. Have an artists contest to design a whimsical giraffe-shaped gallows?

  3. I spoke with a mother earlier today that has been fighting for 10 years to have her ex held accountable for molesting her daughter! Every one took his word and implied she had lost it, thankfully someone finally paid attention and she said he will be sentenced Friday. I pray the nightmare will finally end for this mother & her child.
