Re: in jail please help

Obviously there was in the room in the house four of the dumbest guys I've read about recently. There is only one guy that will be able to tell the same story each and every time they recount the events of that encounter. The one that tells the truth. The guys that beat up your husband are not smart enough to concoct a story and stick with it. Like little things like man, "Where's the gun with your husband's fingerprints on it."

However, you need to start dating someone a little smarter than any one of these four guys. And that shouldn't be that difficult to find.

So tell your husband not to talk to anyone except his court appointed attorney, and not to lie. He is to just stick with the facts.
