Wow, that was fast. Is it possible to sit in court for the Sentencing?

Sure it was fast. They had him convicted before he ever hit the court room. He spent one year in jail waiting for a trial. The female judge hated his guts and influenced the jury. It was pitiful. We are not saying he’s not guilty but give him a fair trial. His lawyer was horrible as well. Unprepared, stuttering and stammering…oh well poor Shelton…hope he gets a new trial …even if guilty he deserves good representation and a fair judge.
