Riverdale killer Ryan Grantham terrified baby face makes him prison target

Grantham pleaded guilty to murdering his mother, Barbara Waite, in a shooting at her British Columbia home. The second-degree murder conviction means he can’t apply for parole until he’s served 14 years in the slammer.

That’s a lot of sleepless nights in a maximum-security prison.

“When people plead guilty to a crime, it doesn’t mean they’re saying, ‘Sure, I’ll be raped and abused by other prisoners.’ That’s not part of the deal,” his lawyer, Chris Johnson, told Fox News.

Johnson added that even Justice Kathleen Ker — who oversaw Grantham’s case — worried that the killer could be in grave jeopardy in a maximum-security prison. She asked that the fallen thespian be sent to a medium-security joint instead.

When you commit murder you void you options of selecting your choice of incarceration. Actions have consequences.

While I do not condone violence, sexual or otherwise, in or out of prison I don't have a lot of sympathy for the man's plight.

should not include being raped and beaten. I share the judge's concern, and I doubt that growing a mustache would be an effective way to avoid traumatic violence.
