He was subsequently arrested and tried and did time in prison for that crime since that time as an 18 year old. Over the past 30 plus years, Mr. Vang has started a family. He's become a critical member of the community and he has lived a life without any serious criminal violations since that time. I would now ask if there are any questions or comments from the Chief Justice. The only comment I would make, I would echo the Governor's statements as we looked through. (02:31–02:46)
