He's a good boy . . . well, if you don't count the murder and attempted murder.

 

Austin Reed Sigg has been arrested for the kidnap and murder of 10-year-old Jessica Ridgeway. He has confessed to the especially heinous crimes -- little Jessica was dismembered.

 

Sigg has also confessed to trying to abduct a jogger who fortunately got away. Sigg's attorney, Ryan Loewer, argued for bail for his client. He says he has no prior criminal history. Does that mean you get one free murder? Ted Bundy didn't have a prior criminal history, either, before he raped and murdered several women. I have to wonder if Loewer has any conscience at all. I wonder how he would feel if bail were granted to this murderer without a record and Loewer's daughter disappeared while Sigg was running around free.
