“ has engaged in a number of self-help and rehabilitative groups, and has had few rule violations ,” Deputy District Attorney Dana Drusinsky wrote in a legal motion, later adding that he has a “realistic” plan to get back on his feet after his release from his prison.
“There’s many days that I thought about it, addressing the family, and just showing my remorse, how sorry I am for what happened…I had no intent to hurt this person,” Easley said.
