(224 posts)The DA office says that new exculpatory evidence was discovered that shows that Padgett was not the man responsible for the hideous attacks on four homeless men that left three dead. But there is going to be a lot of uneasiness in the San Diego area until the person(s) responsible for these crimes is brought into custody.

usually it is kids, sometimes drug dealers working out issues.
ever so often they set people on fire.
the sickness.
