Rebecca Earlywine of Omaha was shot 19 times in February.

She suffered wounds to her arms, legs, chest and abdomen.

Four bullets remain lodged in her body, including one by her spine. Doctors had to remove part of her large intestine and attach it to her small intestine.

Metal plates have been placed in her arms, and she now has artificial elbows. She will never regain full use of her fingers because of nerve damage.

1. 27 years wasn't nearly long enough for this piece of shit

Another excerpt

"On what his lawyer called a methamphetamine binge, Harris shot Earlywine Feb. 7 after she refused to sell the drug for him. The shooting occurred in Earlywine's apartment at the Southside Terrace homes near 29th and S Streets.

"Earlywine, a 27-year-old mother of two, will never fully recover from her injuries, Meckna said. Nor will she work again. She relies on Social Security.

"She has undergone multiple surgeries. Her medical bills have surpassed $3 million, according to a statement she submitted to the court. She has undergone rehabilitation and can walk and talk."

2. Tighe said Harris' actions were fueled by his drug use and not a true indicator of his character...

As if drug use in an of itself wasn't an indicator of his character.

She has paid the price of his actions. Now it's his turn to pay. Forever.
