Anthony Hill was recently sentenced to up to 45 years in prison for aggravated kidnapping and two counts of aggravated robbery. Last March 18, Hill and an accomplice spotted a lady sitting in her car in Lake Highlands. They pointed a gun at her, took her purse, and forced her to lie down in the back of the car. They took her to several ATM's in an attempt to get more money from her. While driving around, they saw Ryan Lusk sitting in his car. Hill demanded money from him, then shot him. The bullet went through Lusk's kidney, his liver, and one of his lungs before it severed his spine.
In his defense, Hill says he was high on cocaine, PCP, and marijuana, and he doesn't remember much from that night. But, miracle of miracles, the one memory he does have is that the gun went off accidentally. Even if that were true, it doesn't get Ryan Lusk out of that wheelchair. I would suggest that Mr. Hill not be allowed out of prison until Ryan Lusk can walk again. And if Ryan Lusk dies without ever regaining his mobility, well, I guess Mr. Hill would just have to rot in his cell.
