'VT Gun Incident': |

| GOV Analysis: | |
| * * * * * * | * * * * * * |
| | Date: 10/27/2017 | Town: Townshend |
| VT Resident?: MASSACHUSETTS | Law Abiding Citizen Prior to Incident: Fugitive |
| Event Type: Double Murder | Firearm Crime: Aggravated Murder |
| Injury Type: Death x2 |
|

Details: Resident of Massachusetts and FUGITIVE from justice, Justin Orwat, 46, was arrested for the double murder of Steven Lovely, age 43, and Amanda Sanderson, age 35, both from Springfield, Vermont.
2021: Orwat is cutting a plea deal with the feds on a gun charge to get the Vermont charge reduced to manslaughter, instead of murder. Vermont lets actual criminals get off easy and punish lawful citizens with a never-ending barrage of gun control laws.
10/25/2021 UPDATE:
Orwat plead guilty to a federal felony gun charge (7.5 year sentence) if he also pleads guilty to the charge of involuntary manslaughter in the shooting death of Amanda Sanderson. (the 45 caliber firearm and ammunition was brought INTO Vermont from out of state!) |
NO law will prevent crime. No law will stop criminals from getting guns. Gun Control only effects the law-abiding citizen and the politicians know it. |
