Kathee, do you know what happened to this man that caused his disfigured face? Was just wondering if his violent behavior is not somehow related. Either physiologically or psychologically.
Yes,
Mr. Marshall apparently attempted to commit suicide by shooting himself several years ago according to Sheriff Montgomery.
I am concerned for his safety, and that of his family's,if he gets out of jail without receiving some sort of counseling to help him with his anger issues.
