His second attempted murder charge. Had one about ten or eleven years ago. Taking out the trash. Also, I see that William Whipple passed away. A lot of murderers are being put behind bars or passing away. We need to keep them there.

Time has not been kind to this absolute scrub. Those tats are saying, “Here I am! I’m the idiot!”

William Whipple committed suicide by hanging. He knew he was looking at 25 years and took the easy way out.

Why? He had great luck beating the justice system. How many murders did Whipple get away with? 2 or 3? I can’t remember. They posted a beautiful picture of him, gang tats and all. He was such a kind person it says.

Everyone deserves an obituary… His family can see it and grieve, it’s not up to you to decide that for them… Does not matter what he did, he still had family! They don’t deserve your scorn over what he did!!!!

The victim in this case is a well known [edit] in Hoopa, the HCSO failed to do any type of investigation, wouldn’t even stop to try and question Byron, there’s two sides to each story and supposed to be policies and procedures that they are supposed to follow…..

Chelsea, Byron Titus is a psychopath. It’s too bad you believe otherwise. Anyone who has had to deal with him knows that already. Ask any of the correctional officers or people who had to deal with this guy. He will smile in your face, simply in order for you to turn your back and he’ll kill you.

How many times do you have to try to kill people?
How many times can you possibly find yourself in this situation? Two seems like a lot for 99.9999% of people.
