I have personally known this person since he was 11 years old. This man is very driven to succeed but the justice system has made a grave error finding him to be a threat to society. He has led an exemplary life and to take away 14 years of a good man's life for a brawl is a miscarriage of justice and a waste of taxpayer's money. Shame on the judicial system. This man is no criminal. He errored. Civil compensation should have sufficed. If you read this Brad, I'm sorry you had to endure such an attrocity, but stay strong. Those of us that know you , know you are no criminal. Stay strong and keep fighting. Oh, and if anyone reading this feels this is a close personal friend sticking up for Tapper, wrong. I haven't heard or seen from him in twenty plus years. I just thought readers ought to know how wrong this sentence is. Brad Tapp is an honorable man that apparently had a bad day. But then again, who hasn't from time to time?
