Fred Hopkins
Back in 2018 my former neighbor ambushed and shot 7 law enforcement officers, killing 2. He has now been officially notified that the prosecutor will seek the Death Penalty

The problem, then, is that such calls do not address an opposition audience so much as they signal virtue. They talk past those who need convincing. They ignore actual facts and counterargument. And they are irreparably smug.

Re: Fred Hopkins
Fred Hopkins has pled guilty to murdering 2 law enforcement officers. His sentencing hearing is taking place now. The guilty plea took the death penalty off the table. We will die in prison. He is 80 years old

Re: Fred Hopkins
This year has not been a good one for SC lawyers charged with murder.

The fact that he is still breathing makes it a good year for him. If it were fully my call, he would not be.themanintheseersuckersuit wrote: ↑Thu Oct 19, 2023 10:57 amThis year has not been a good one for SC lawyers charged with murder.

Re: Fred Hopkins
Will there be anyone saying anything favorable about him at his sentencing? I doubt it.
