Oddone trial begins; opening statements heard Monday

there are two sides to every story. anthony oddone was drunk, the evils of alcohol. he made a horrible horrible mistake. but corrections officers are not the nicest people, what did reister do to instigate the drunken kid? this is a young kid, will putting him in prison for the rest of his life help him or society? our taxes pay for how many prisons? how about reform to help people who have made terrible mistakes . yes he needs to pay, but will making him worse instead of better help anyone."

any suggestions?" Oct 21, 09 3:47 AM

there is no justification. if you work in the police, criminal, jail system, you would know what i mean by corrections officers....love their power, it is a generalization of course, but the job does not require much skill or requesits. " Oct 21, 09 3:52 AM

this is the best reply of all. who knows why this horrible things happen. i do not know a thing about oddone or reister, only the prison system and those who work them. it is up to the jury" Oct 21, 09 3:57 AM
