you are correct...about a year later, there was another high-profile case where Kenneth Prestridge killed Sophia Aragon...I saw prestridge ride in the Angola prison rodeo a few years back...

damn, that had to be an horrific experience... can you imagine the brother, being woke up like 4ish from a deep sleep to go discover an intruder and hearing your sister scream.

Remember the murder quite well. I am not sure that neighborhood has ever been the same since. Killer avoided the death penalty, but won't be going anywhere during this life. Be assurred that a family member will be at every parole hearing if his sentencing even contains an eigiblity clause for parole consideration at some point in the future.

Beautiful girl. Pity the bastard could have not been shot to death on sight.

Terrible as well.

Mike Small kept both of them from getting death. I never allow people to speak well of him (including my father) without reminding them of his complicity in those miscarriages.

I'm 99% certain he does not have the option of parole or early release. He will have to have a pardon. If that happens, I hope the state acknowledges to him that they cannot guarantee his personal safety.

Nobody guaranteed Connie's...

Pineville High 02'. Joking. Mother in law graduated from Tioga in the seventies and knows the family well. Very sad.
