i don't get how they choose rewards.
ReplyDeleterun over girl (dead)= $10k
man shot (dead) = $25k
raped woman (while child was held by a second man and forced to watch) = $1k
is that messed up, or is it just me?
Yeah - I believe all homicides (sans car-inflicted) get the $25K reward. After that, I don't know what [arbitrary] system is used.
ReplyDeleteinitially, the girl in northeast on 6th street was $1k.
ReplyDeleteafter a week they upped it to $10k.
i just don't get it.
perhaps i'm just retarded. :o/
RIP Lonte. I know that times are hard for your mom right now after losing your older brother only 2 1/2 years ago. The Marshall family is in my prayers.
