this guy is a scammer looking for easy money anyway he can get it. what he was expecting to get from wal-mart was a million dollars and the way he was trying to get it was stealing and lying. They should of thrown the book at him and keep him locked up for about 20 years or more. He will come to your business and pretend to get hurt and sue for money.

I think you should get all the facts of the case before you judge people... or let God do the judging....not you! Lawyers, police and prosecutors bully these kids into plea agreements. You know it looks to me like Hull was the culprit and Cornelison was his fall guy????????? and since he had a prior record, he took the fall. People who judge others like you do should be the ones locked up.
