Interestingly, he had been convicted of shooting into an occupied welling eight years ago, and was released from prison only a few weeks before he fired into the car. He is looking at more prison time.

 When the producers of the video failed to respond, the judge awarded her $5 million. An appeal is likely.     

I LOVE IT WHEN YOU GET ANGRY, ARGHHH! A man lured a woman to his apartment in Kingston, Jamaica, where he tried to rape her. She responded by biting off part of his tongue. He ceased the attack.
