Man Sends Text Message Gets 15 Year Prison Sentence

"Sorry about all this. Call me when you get a chance."

For stabbing his baby mama Lakisha Frye seven times and nearly cutting off her ear, Colin Akin Johnson was sentenced to 20 years in prison. A judge ordered him to serve five of those years. After only three years and three months behind bars he was released.

The two had allegedly renewed their tumultuous relationship and Mr. Johnson sent the text above after a heated argument. It would turn out to be the most costly text message ever sent.
