Easy to tell who wrote this report without even looking at the name.

Why does this reporter always have to tweak these stories by adding his own twist on everything?

What about Tony stepp, hopes his warrant in Ohio Is for the murder of Josh ray, he should rot the rest of his Days, death penalty would be too generous
