The boyfriend of the relative comes into his house and starts the fight. If he hadn't had the prior trouble, do you think that the boyfriend of the relative would have been the one arrested?
Everybody must remember that we live in America. In America the law says you are innocent until proven guilty. There are a lot of you here that have already judged him as guilty without knowing all the facts and without it being presented to a jury of his peers. I say give him the benefit of the doubt and let the facts come out in court and let a jury decide if he is guilty or not. Guilt or innocence isn't something that the members of Dodgeboard or the citizens of Dodge City should decide without sitting in a courtroom and hearing/seeing all the facts in the case as presented by both sides. |

no offense Bubba, but that's the first thing that came to my mind reading your post
