Appears the only person he is hurting is himself and family, if any. Pray he gets real help after he gets out.

What in the world! The God Father of Soul is dead, and Danny Ray looks like he is on meth! Please someone give him a job, even if it's not putting a cape on a singers shoulders.

What's his past line of work got to do with what he's charged with. If he's guilty enough said. No special publicity is needed.
