Trump says he could shoot someone ... but this guy puts his money where his mouth is

He is accused in the Oct. 12 shooting death of ex-convict Reimundo Camarillo Jr. An indictment says Battle killed Camarillo while engaged in a conspiracy to distribute 5 kilograms or more of cocaine.
Battle also faces a federal drug charge stemming from a traffic stop in which police found 73 grams of marijuana and $100,000 in cash.
Battle didn’t vote for himself from jail, but since he ran unopposed, he didn’t have to. He won re-election by getting only 308 votes. He won an earlier primary by 52 votes.
