Steven Lawayne Nelson was arrested in 2005 for unauthorized use of a motor vehicle (that means he stole it). In 2007 he was convicted of theft of property -- twice. In 2009 he was sentenced to two years in jail for burglary of a habitation. In 2010 (what happened to 2 years in jail?) he was sentenced to eight years probation for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon (he tried to kill his girlfriend). What judge in his right mind would grant probation to a man who had at least four prior crimes on his record? And that's just the ones they caught him at!
Anyway, earlier this month, Nelson killed Pastor Clint Dobson and severely beat his ministry assistant at North Pointe Baptist Church in Arlington. While watching newscasts of the crime, he laughed. How many more chances should he get?

I think they should hold anyone who worked to get him out responsible. If my Family member was harmed or killed by this or any other moron who should be jailed, I would sue anyone and everyone I could list of the Judicial System. We have gotten too soft in this country. Way too soft.
