What does the parole board see that the District Attorney’s office did not?
Why are these dangerous criminals given ridiculous plea deals?
Who is being protected?
As the crime rate continues to rise in Killeen, felons know where to live.
They know they can get away with murder in Bell County. The DA should not be giving MURDERERS plea deals.
2 years and 5 years for murder? REALLY?
These MURDERERS are a danger to the community, and have zero respect for the law or lives and continuously offend.
If the DA prosecuted Doyle on all the charges and not given him a plea deal in
2011, two women would still be alive today.
Bell County is a FELONS paradise!
