HOWEVER, I take back my previous comment that he should be given the death penalty. Reading these more recent comments I now understand that no matter bad someone is they still have family and friends who love them, and who they love and have had a positive impact on. I understand that even good folks can make bad decisions, and I'm sorry not only for the families of these victims but also for those who love Billy who are affected by this tragedy. I wish everyone, including Billy, the best possible outcome.
you should have been his attorney
She was his ex, not his current gf. I worked with her when this happened
