During the sentencing hearing, Palkowitsch offered Baker a tearful apology saying, “I hope that today gives you a little bit of closure, but I know for the rest of your life it’s something you’re going to have to deal with,” the Post reports.

Dude really was a prophet: “They’ll take your show...fix you too.”

Reppin for the Keishas. The older I get, the more fuck-deficient I become. Here’s to being loudly, boldly, abundantly, unabashedly, joyfully, EXCESSIVELY BLACK!
