@ Katherine Jester – is that supposed to be yet another prison rape joke? Cause they’re tired and not terribly funny.
On an unrelated note, why isn’t he being charged with attempted murder? When I hear malicious wounding I sort of assume the weapon of choice was a knife or something sharp and it was used in a way that probably wasn’t intended to kill. I don’t understand how you can shoot at someone and not realize there’s a good chance that they could die as a result. Am I missing something here?
