Granting a low bond to repeat offender and ex-con Thomas Briscoe has had a lasting impact on Addyson Bennefeld.
“I don’t think people truly grasp the impact something like this can have on someone’s life,” she expressed.
Andy Kahan with Crime Stoppers expressed his disbelief at the fact that someone who had just been released from prison was charged with two felonies. “It just didn’t seem right to me,” he stated.
Addyson expressed that she has no clue about the reason behind her actions.
According to Thomas, her exact words were, “I’m exhausted from constantly being treated with disrespect.” She expressed her disbelief and questioned how someone could act in such a way. Thomas emphasized the fact that the incident occurred in their own home, where the perpetrator had stayed the night before. Comparing it to shooting someone, she commented on the deeply personal nature of stabbing someone, highlighting the level of intimacy involved.
