A Kentucky man who faked his own death by hacking into a death registry to avoid paying child support was sentenced to over 6 years in prison Monday, according to a release from the U.S. Attorney’s Office of the Eastern District of Kentucky.
If only there was a way to turn those IT skills into a paying career…
It doesn’t. Our criminal justice system is really just a punishment system. Whenever this guy gets out of prison, he’ll have his wages garnished and the money that he owes will be paid back. It doesn’t help the kid now.
Sooo…
I guess that means he gets 3 hots and a cot for 6 years, on the taxpayer’s dime, and gets to skip on child support?
Nope, he’s dead. Life sentence is already served.
He’ll still owe the child support, but his ability to pay it will be greatly reduced.
How does that help the child that needs support?

Assuming he doesn’t get sent back to prison.
