Good job all.
Only problem is the law doesn't provide for fines for habitual offenders so fining him $10,000 is something which needs to be changed.
Stomping death lands man 99 years
By Craig Kapitan - Express-News
An ex-con found guilty of murder last month for stomping the head of a neighbor was sentenced Friday to 99 years in prison.
State District Judge Maria Teresa Herr also assessed a $10,000 fine for Erasmo Santa, who faced a minimum sentence of 25 years because of previous prison terms for burglary and rape.
Witnesses said Santa, a 42-year-old former bouncer, attacked John Ellsworth Wilson IV, 37, at the West Side mobile home community where they both lived because he believed Wilson had disrespected his family — asking for handouts and hitting on his common-law wife.
