No News Tuesday

Bentler sentencing is all they could come up with Today on all outlets.
But the sentencing story could have been written the day of the verdict. Below is an excerpt from the Whig, that basically says the sentencing was a done deal long ago. Why the judge had to wait I am not sure unless it was to allow the victim impact statements to be written by the family members. The story was full of emotion but you wouldn't know it from the headline."Bentler Gets life Without Parole"

Mullins had no option under Iowa law other than to sentence Bentler to life in prison without parole for first-degree murder, a Class A felony. The only question was whether Bentler would serve the life sentences at the same time or consecutively.

By the way what is a "Class A felony" and who cares what class the felony was. It was a heinous crime and is one worthy of the death penalty.
I think a better headline would have been..
Iowa Has No Death Penalty
or
Family Begs Shawn To Admit Guilt

What to do? Not much more to say about the news today. Little Peep's Golf Touney, 800 people having fun, spending money in little Qtown. Life's Good!

I guess we will just wait for the city to pull another bonehead move before we get a good steam coming out of my ears.

WGEM's story on the website said He Hunted Her, or something like that.
