BUT THE MEXCANS ARE THE PROBLEM

Only 28 years? What a rip-off. I'd think a man who had gone out of his way to commit so heinous an act against someone who stopped to help has certainly put out the extra effort and put so much of himself into his work that he well deserves fair pay. They should get one of those fancy special occasion envelopes and stuff a bonus of say 45 more years into it, then give it to him as a surprise.

what was the girfriend doing during this? she couldn't make him stop. wow what about other bystanders? they watch? what is with all these crazy people hurting innocent people all over phx - wow

28 years is not long enough. Only death, in my book, is 'long enough' for these types of sub-humans.

I was part of the Honor Guard detail from Luke AFB for his burial and I will never forget it. RIP Mr. Staats. I hope the Staats family has some peace and closure now that this chapter is over.

The title of this story should read " Scumbag gets 28 years in beating death of 'good samaritan'.

The general population will rip him apart he has to live with all of the low life dirt bages being told to lock down 24/7 living in a 12x8 cell 3 showers per week if that enjoy your life for the next 25 years a-- h---.......

The pc of crap needs to rot in hell for what he did.

This dead beat will get his just in prision he will get his a-- kicked when the general population gets a hold of him. and they ask him what was his crime he will probably have to go DI 67.....

Its so much more profitable to give life in prison, how else can the officials skim money out of the state prison budgets for maintaining his life, its way too juicy not too. Death is too economical and cheap, pull the switch and poof! he's fried, just a bit of a hike on the electric bill per each time.
