Ouch. But… at some point, we are responsible for our own actions. 😦

«The defense started to bring witnesses to the stand Wednesday, including Roy Oliver’s mother, Linda. She testified that her family was shattered when Oliver’s 3-year-old son, Tab, was diagnosed with autism. She asked the jury to consider the minimum sentence of five years, so Oliver could still be in his son’s life.

“But consider his son… he doesn’t need – my son was raised with a father in prison and deservedly so. That man deservedly needed to be in prison. And I know how hard it is to be a single mother,” Linda Oliver said.»
