Most Recent Reflection
View all 29 ReflectionsI was also working drug dealers and had the occasion to work with Bailey, the defendant had already violated probation in Fountain County and was allowed to be set free to continue his crime spree. That defendant should have never been out of jail during that time. So sorry he was so young at the time.
