Police say a gunman seeking revenge for drug charges snuck into the family's Florida home and opened fire; he then killed himself in his home later that day. There's no shortage of drug violence, of course, but here's the kicker: Authorities said David Edward Johnson targeted the couple after being arrested for possession of marijuana and steroids; he thought the couple had turned him in. The couple apparently feared the suspect and tried to get a court-ordered injunction to keep him away from their family.

"Looking back on it, I would have liked to have done it differently," Circuit Judge Richard Graham said. "But you review each case on a case-by-case basis." These Florida judges are doing great work this month helping innocent people die... Posted by: Dar 2005-03-30 |
