way to go deandrea! i hope she won't be sued by the family for shooting their precious son!

Good for Deandrea, Too bad the BG will recover and the state will have to feed and cloth him for the 6 months he's in jail, if that long.

Oh sure the the state will feed and house him, but the jail he will vacation in is state of the art with no frills. Food cost is around $2.50 a day. No steak tartar on the menu. Here in Kentucky I think the state reimburses for ammo expense. If they don't, they should!
