Fears on trial (the finale)

Daniel Fears, convicted of shooting up Sallisaw in October 2002, was sentenced today to life without parole. During the rampage, apparently prompted by a complaint about Fears' driving, two townspeople were killed and eight others wounded. As predicted here, counsel for the defense had attempted to show that Mr Fears was suffering from a mental disorder.

Thanks for your comments over the past 2 years regarding the Fear's case.

If you recall, my mother, Patsy Wells was killed in her front yard by this creep.

Even his father O.T. Fears is getting into the act. He approached my step father and the son of the other lady who was killed and said "Well I hope you all are happy now" in a very angry and violent manner. This occured right after the sentencing hearing. The whole family is a bunch of evil and violent rednecks. I just hope that the young Fears gets in the prison general population soon.

Thanks again. RN
