I’ve known William (Bill) Ross my whole life and he’s been in and out of jail his whole life. And he once served a 10 year sentence for attempted murder. He will never learn. Just lock him up for good and throw away the key.
I am surprised that it took Willam Ross that long to upgrade from attempt of murder to murder. I am sure that this is probably not his first murder, just first one to be caught. First attempt back in the 90s was over less then an ounce of weed when they took a hatchet to a guy. Unfortunately someone had to die to put this dirt bag in jail.
