Cain shouldn’t serve any jail time. Within the warmth of the second, what man wouldn’t have a lapse in judgement to guard his household. The main target must be on the person that dedicated crimes a lot worse than what Cain did. I’m grateful he solely has to serve 5 years as an alternative of 30. https://t.co/FkjHNNzeSN

Effectively if that’s the case, all in all a very good outcome when you think about how fucked the justice system is. Completely gutted for Cain and his household. You’ll be out very quickly champ. You might be eternally a legend to us and a hero to your loved ones https://t.co/iIpJV1W6OY
