Cain shouldn’t serve any jail time. Within the warmth of the second, what man wouldn’t have a lapse in judgement to guard his household. The main target needs to be on the person that dedicated crimes a lot worse than what Cain did. I’m grateful he solely has to serve 5 years as a substitute of 30. https://t.co/FkjHNNzeSN
