MORRISTOWN, Tenn. (AP) - A suspect in the slayings of a Florida
couple was convicted in an East Tennessee death in 1992.
According to documents from the Hamblen County Sheriff's
Department, William Coldiron and Terry Corbett argued on Dec. 13,
1992, at a home in Russellville. Corbett, who at first refused
hospital treatment after Coldiron notified authorities, later died.
According to WATE-TV in Knoxville, Coldiron later pleaded guilty
to an amended charge of criminally negligent homicide in Corbett's
death. He was sentenced to two years in the Hamblen County Jail.
Coldiron and six others are charged in the shooting deaths of a
wealthy Florida Panhandle couple known for adopting children with
special needs.

I work for a criminal justice agency that didn’t use to be “soft”. Federal Laws and the bleeding hearts have taken the TEETH out of the Justice system so we can no longer “take a bite out of crime”. Joe Arpaio Should be put in charge of a LOT of things. I wish there was SOMETHING (ANYTHING) I could do to go work for that man. I served in the military and retired. I was surrounded by dedicated people who would do anything for GOD AND COUNTRY. Mr. Arpaio is JUST LIKE THAT. He is a man who wants this country to be great again and we could learn a LOT from his methods. Check that re-entry stats on his released convicts and you’ll find he’s VERY SUCCESSFUL. Regarding these murdering thieves…well you’re right…they are self destructive, Carl, and will get what they have coming in the end. My dad always said, give someone enough rope and they will hang themselves. Rodney King asked, “can’t we all just get along?” My answer? NO and since we can’t we need every JOE Arpaio we can find!

Usually these kind of people are a means to their own end(what goes around comes around).I saw a few months back where the politicians were trying to put Joe Arpaio out of business or put him on a shorter leash.They were trying to take all his funding away to ease some of the criticism from the bleeding hearts and illegals.That man deserves some stimulus money and being put in charge of the southern border security.

To Carl: It would be nice to think such, however recently enforced FEDERAL laws now make prison life easy for the convicted. SAFE prisons are just that…SAFE for the convicts…not for the public. I work for a state department of criminal justice agency and by federal law we are hogtied to protect the convict from other convicts, guards, society and to ensure they have cable TV. THANK god for for people like Joe Arpaio out in Maricopa County….IF ALL prisons and facilities were run like his, people like these several scum would never have the guts to live a life of crime. Just remember this, “in texas, we’ll kill you back!”....Ron White. So Carl, your hopes and dreams…as they are for so many…that these scum get what’s coming to them will fall short as you realize these guys will (after convicted) have more rights than you or I!

I think he will probably get all the fighting and beatings he wants in a little while.Justice might be slow or delayed but usually it comes time to pay the bill sooner or later.
