Trey Wooten Came Out Lucky!

 

Blakely Cowart - Innocent Victim

We don't blame the Lauderdale County District Attorney's office for making a deal with Trey Wooten. There was no guarantee that he would be convicted. Also the four years he received is only one short of what he would have served if convicted of Manslaughter. The maximum sentence would have been only five years considering Correctional Incentive Time. 

Wooten still faces charges for an accident with injuries in Jefferson County. We hope that, once he's processed into the state system, he will get the help he needs.

Speaking of CIT, the TimeDaily has been recently referring to some sentences as "Day to Day." We have news - it's not like anyone gets to take a break. We believe the expression the reporter is looking for is "Day for Day."

Guilty, Guilty, Guilty!
