Thats not fair. They are being more racist than pedro espinosa. Due to the fact ive seen many cases of a black person going to trial for simaliar things and they get a way better sentence.
U sound dumb who ever u r that’s what the f his blank het fin spick though he wasent gonna get caught trying to prove something now he’s gonna live hahah that’s what he get
He went out looking for trouble and when he found it he dealt with it by k-ingg someone. He was an adult and you can’t argue with his sentence
He deserved it. BTW remember Tookie Williams also got death
