a man with no history of violence, a man who's never served a day in custody before this case.

I decided it would be most inappropriate for me to make any
comments on George Wallace or his history,

This is a very important day in my life. I want to make history. Even if it means I will walk for 10 hours, I will do so,

Given his violent history and the violence in this case in Tennessee, I would consider parole to be unlikely,

If he's a guy with a violent history, he has shown a step towards violence, perhaps making the threat more credible.

It has had a history of non-violence for the last 50 years and these measures are like what we have seen in Uzbekistan where President (Islam) Karimov has been burning his political opponents alive.
