You know something is wrong with the court system when a killer admits and it's recorded, but his conviction is overturned by a ballistics error.

[@aleisaetheridge8682]

Absolutely ,it always amazes me how many killers either get a slap on the wrist for murder r get out early for good behavior ,I think if U murder someone ,unless it was some kind of freak accident ,U should give up the rest of your life ,I don't believe in rehabilitation for killers r rapest .

[@joekulik999]

Please tell me what rehabilitation you're talking about because over 28 years as a True Crime fan I haven't seen much effort at rehabilitation at all in America's prisons. They are basically just human warehouses. But besides rehabilitation how about doing to prevent crime before it even happens ??? SO much money is spent After a crime has been committed on police investigations, trials, and incarceration but nothing is seriously spent researching why people really commit crimes and how to stop it. This leads to irrational conclusions òne of which is that a person who commits a murder in an otherwise crime free life is simply irredeemable and should be put away for life.

This is true with the exception of Chicago. I was there 6 years ago for a hedging conference and there were a little over 100 shootings on a four day fourth of July weekend. I think around 15 of them ended up being fatal. Everyone was just ho hum about it as it was totally expected.

[@Mischa21xo]

Dude, there are 77 neighborhoods in Chicago, it is a huge City and it depends on where you are. The west side and the entire South Side is an absolute sh*t show, so yes, shootings are constantlyyy happening over there and they are absolutely expected in those gang ridden areas! As for most of downtown, the north side and the northwest side, any shootings at all are incredibly rare and we are not worried at all about being shot or robbed. I am almost 32 years old, a woman, lived here almost my entire life and I have never had one bad thing happen to me in regards to safety or my state of well-being. So yeah, when you live on the northwest side of Chicago (incredibly far away from the south side) you couldn't care less about the BS that happens over there on the south side, because it happens all year round and it stays there. Of course none of us are going to freak out when we actually live in good areas, because there's nothing to freak out about- it's a great City and Incredibly safe when you live in the right area. So miss me with the bullshit

This made me sick to my stomach. I don't know how Trent's family controls themselves enough to not go settle the issue out of court. If it were me, I'd be in prison and the murderer would be non existent. This is a though one to accept. His poor family, friends, and Trent have been let down in a shocking way. The justice system basically said that Trent's life didn't matter and wasn't worth anything. I need to stop watching these.

[@prettybrowneyez3338]

Laws need to be changed. If someone has to pay money for the loss of a family member and decides to move to a state where no one can garnish those wages, that in itself, should be illegal too. People need to be held accountable for their crimes period. These people shouldn't be allowed to move to another state where garnishing wages is illegal. Since that ruling was given in Kentucky, where they obviously lived prior to moving to Pennsylvania, then that ruling should be upheld no matter what. And Pennsylvania should not intervene with Kentucky's ruling. Unless he appeals in Kentucky and wins then that's a different matter.

[@tessaducek5601]

I feel this way about murderers leaving the country. Another country should not be permitted to dictate our justice just because they don't agree with it. But yet extradition is given stipulations.

I was born in Seattle in 1973, where I grew up. Male. Japanese-American. An only child. One hot button thing, is being called "spoiled." After watching Trent's story in 2004, I NOW know why the word "spoiled" is so offensive to me: A REAL spoiled person: SHANE RAGLAND!! He was SO entitled, had NUMEROUS DUIs, and got into SO much legal trouble, yet his father bailed him out every time. I've seen some entitled White people (I met them at the University of Southern California, and in Seattle in the Laurelhurst neighborhood), but Shane takes the CAKE. Believe me, MY Mom and Dad would never "oh, he does nothing wrong' about me, if I did many of these things that Shane Ragland did. Talk about having it come back to bite him: Shane was SO jaded, never being held accountable, and his recklessness, I have no doubt played a part in him getting into that accident, that confined him to a wheelchair. And believe me, after my father passed away unexpectedly in 2003, I DON'T wish death or terrible things like paralysis on many people Shane Ragland is a notable exception for me.

Unfortunately it is the reason why many charges get dismissed, testimonies are tossed, and light sentences come to which the community is fortunate if the perp serves any time at all.

As both a Combat Veteran of Modern Warfare and a Retired Employee of a US Defense Department Contractor. I have complete confidence in the US Military and its ability to crush all current adversary Military forces if we are forced to defend ourselves. The war on terror was no indication of our true Military capabilities. The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan were never fought with the intent to do anything other than support the Military Industrial Complex and its appetite for profit. Had there been any true intent to destroy Isis or the taliban it would have been accomplished in days with very minimal Combat casualties of US Forces. The weapons systems and equipment the US Military deployed in those wars were occupation oriented systems and equipment. We have significantly more capable conventional weapon systems in the inventory than those weapons systems that were deployed. The true conventional offensive capabilities of the US Military is unbelievable . But those weapons aren't going to be brought into a fight meant to be a prolonged Military action . The true offensive and defensive capabilities of the US Military is decades ahead of any other modern Military. There's a reason the Defense budget of the US is so high. And it's not because it's spent or wasted on $500 claw hammers or $1000 toilet seats. There's plenty of waste but it isn't nearly as much as it's claimed to be

To show you where, when and how I grew up: Born in Seattle in 1973, where I grew up. Japanese-American. Male. I first learned about Trent DiGuiro's story on City Confidential in 2004. And, I always have loved Kentucky Basketball. In fact, I like to see teams from Kentucky do well: Kentucky, Louisville, Western Kentucky. But, because I'm Japanese-American, I HATE Shane Ragland, and I HATE his friend Bill Young!! Bill Young, that golf-shirt wearing a-hole, talked about how he and Shane "got deer hunting rifles for their 16th birthdays." Bill Young LOOKS like the kind of guy, who would always complain at me, when I refereed youth basketball, most like one coaching a Laurelhurst or Magnolia team. (if you're familiar with Seattle, you know what Laurelhurst is. It's EXACTLY where Jerry Ragland would have lived, had they been in Seattle, and equally rich)

Smfh. Poor Aimee. The system is SO fucked. Then they wonder why majority of us don’t like to cooperate with the police. Granted, he didn’t do anything to Aimee, but she has to hide from him forever, to prevent him killing her the way he killed before. But, in one of these comments, someone said he is now paralyzed from a car accident in 2012, after his short tiny little jail sentence. Smh. Karma’s a bitch

[@charlesallen8901]

The cops are to lazy to do thier jobs Pa. Should be prosecuted.

[@familyfirst.foundation]

I lived in Lexington, KY. There were shootings every day.

[@1Kaileegirl]

Well Karma always finds its way Shane is wheelchair bound since 2012 and was arrested as a woman beater although she dropped the charges So much for his rich fathers opinion on "Shane being such a good boy" Karma at its finest

Thanks for the update.

If it happens here it's in America anywhere. (today).

[@swampfizz]

maybe not as a murder weapon but a .243 is a real common deer rifle

[@joshgill5399]

.243 rifle is very common here in Southern Ky and so is shootings! Not just in Ky but throughout the World!
