Gasoline, Guilt, and a Life Sentence

Shotsie Buck-Hayes got a 40-year sentence for pouring gasoline on Virginia council member Lee Vogler and setting him on fire—confessing to attempted murder and aggravated wounding. Vogler suffered 60% body burns; his wife described the devastation. Buck-Hayes pleaded guilty, receiving 10 years for attempted murder (5 suspended) and a life sentence for wounding (35 suspended)—the judge tripled the recommended time for wounding, underscoring the horror. A breaking and entering charge was dropped in the deal, closing this chapter, though the trauma lingers. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
