Attorney claims it would be good time to rob bank after officers flock to courthouse
“If I was going to rob a bank and I knew they all would be up here, that’s when I would have done it,” said defense attorney Jim Parkman of the turnout.
Saffold has for years posted criticism of police to his Mr. Kev Time Facebook page, often accusing officers of unfairly targeting Blacks. Parkman believes those officers wanted to get back at Saffold, hoping to influence Houston County Judge Maurice “John-John” Steensland, who sentenced Saffold to 25 years.Investigators say he illegally coerced the victim into purchasing two vehicles and used her credit card to purchase dentures.Russ Goodman, who became district attorney this week, praised the sentence and the successful efforts of prosecuting attorney Seth Brooks.
“Crimes involving children, the elderly, violent crimes—those are what we are sort of focusing our efforts on,” Goodman said. The 25 years is less than Saffold, who has a lengthy criminal history, had faced and punishment that Parkman considers fair.Saffold has been jailed since last month after Steensland revoked his bond for causing a courthouse commotion.
