Johnny Lee Chapple will not see or taste freedom for the rest of his life.
Chapple on Thursday was sentenced to "life without the possibility of parole plus 10 years" by a jury at the courthouse.
Superior Court Judge Steve Bradley handed down the sentence, while District Attorney T. Wright Barksdale and Assistant District Attorney Tammy Coffey prosecuted for the state.
Chapple decided to take his case to trial, where he was accused of fatally shooting his girlfriend in the heart on Valentine's Day 2022. Latoria Waller was 30.
Some people around town may remember Chapple from the Food Depot, where he was a longtime employee. Chapple, 36, has been arrested at the Baldwin County Sheriff's Office 15 different times. Past charges include disorderly conduct, terroristic threats, simple assault, criminal trespass–family violence, felony burglary, possession of a firearm or knife during the commission of a crime, battery, possession of a Schedule 1 Controlled Substance, DUI and obstruction of an officer

According to investigators, Chapple was Waller's live-in boyfriend. Waller’s body was discovered early the next day in a bedroom of the home at 104 Towns Street, located near the old Southside school and off of the Vinson Highway. Waller was still fighting for her life when first responders arrived, but she later passed away at an area hospital.

Everything sounded so lovely until the end.
“We tried”
If that’s not disheartening idk what is. I feel the need to quote my mom here. “I can’t have nothin nice”. Wiser words were never said.
Oh! And for gods sake STAY HYDRATED if you want to save on hospital bills. I hate summer.
Member when the river was fun and didn’t get angry and take lives? You could float down hopefully by sunset with only burnt skin that was a problem for later you? Member when your biggest fear were all the scary gar lingering about?

loving that suit! That hippie has style and wears it well.
I member hearing about this. So incredibly sad. The lady I spoke with couldn’t have spoken higher of the man he was.
"unless someone wishes to make some sort of far-flung statement about their dissatisfaction with both major political parties" omg! YES PLEASE! There's no choices, and they will never allow an independent a fighting chance. Other countries have multiple candidates to choose from.
Any reason why the sheriff rarely makes a statements its alway another Deputy isn’t the sheriff, the elected official in our county?
