I would say the same if I was anyone else, but I knew this guy. I only met him about 3 times, but has known his brother for my whole life. Ricky, the guy that did this, spent over 20 years in prison and he just got out about 2 years ago. He was doing good at first, well cut and clean, got a job, etc. Recently, he just started acting wreckless. Even tried to break into my dad's house. My dad has helped him with money and jobs ever since he got out of prison. Just really sad to see what drugs will turn someone into. I'm glad that someone caught him in the act, or he may have hurt that woman really bad.
