Man Gets Life for Killing Pawn Shop Owner

Multiple media outlets reported 24-year-old Roger Shephard of Williamston was found guilty of murder, armed robbery and other charges Thursday.
Prosecutors say Shephard shot 65-year-old John Bruin while robbing his Easley pawn shop in June 2006 and also fired shots at the man's wife, but she was not hit.
Shephard was arrested in Montreal three days later. He wasn't returned to the U.S. for two years until prosecutors promised to not seek the death penalty.
A surveillance video showed a man talking to Bruin before pulling out a gun and shooting him in the chest.

This is the type of un-justice that is going on in this country. Plea bargaining. A person kills someone, film at 11:00, person get's life without parole. Family gets to see person on weekends, lives to be old person. Victim - dead, family unable to see victim to reach old age. What is fair. The only one coming out of this type of justice is the perpetrator of the crime - they get 3 hot's and a cot, family visitation, no taxes, free clothing and free college degree's.
