In 2015, Billingsley was sentenced to 30 years in prison, with 16 years suspended, after he pleaded guilty to a first-degree sex offense, court records show.

The Maryland sex offender registry shows he was released from prison in October. The registry classified him in “tier 3,” which includes the most serious charges and requires offenders to register for life.

    the people they are not sure of

    lol you mean you put people in prison when you’re not sure they’re guilty over there?

    “Yeah we’re not completely sure he murdered this woman so we’re not going to kill him, just put him in prison for 30 years in case he’s actually guilty.”

      No,

      Executions should be reserved for the worst of the worst and not the legally ambiguous
