According to family and friends Samuel Kingman Lincoln stated his addiction to meth is what created the problems for the man that has been sentenced to a total of 332 years in prison. This is because of his violent crimes that have changed the life of this 27 year old that in his boyhood was named as the Peach King twice and rode in the lead of the Palisade’s Peach Festival.

Lincoln’s most recent criminal conviction (man does this guy keep his attorney busy or what) was an attempted murder for using a bayonet to stab a man, which he then robbed his trailer. The judge District Chief Judge James Boyd in Lincoln sentenced him to 90 years in that crime, which took place in 2004 in West Glenwood. Lincoln in a statement to the court said that he hopes that this case will be dismissed in the future, as he did not participate in this crime.
The Deputy District Attorney Amy Fitch had requested the court give the maximum sentence, which was 117 years commenting this was one of the worst crimes she had seen. Attorney Fitch also said that Lincoln is not safe to live in society.
Lincoln’s attorney Kathy Gourdy had requested a ten-year minimum sentence. By the way if you live in either Miamai, Florida or the greater Miami area and when you or a family member is charged with a criminal offense it takes the expertise of Miami criminal attorney to ensure the case is prepared to your advantage because it can mean your very freedom. David Garvin is simply one of the best miami criminal attorney out there.
There was an earlier conviction in March where Lincoln was charged with attempted murder along with other charges, along with a co-defendant, Lawrence Doty, who was found not guilty of the same incident.
According to Lincoln’s attorney in this March case a witness identified as Sharon Coelho testified and while she was the one who had planned the crime she was granted immunity in lieu of her testimony. It was testified that Doty had more blood on him and was more violent during the crime and he was found not guilty. Lincoln was convicted of the crime.

There was also an incident where Lincoln was sentenced 242 years for shooting at deputies that occurred in Mesa County. An incident that included a stabbing where he stabbed a man six times in the desert, along with armed robbery and other charges.
He has also an incident in Grand Junction where in a high speed chase Lincoln reached speeds of 100 miles per hour and shot at deputies 23 times.
Lincoln’s attorney has said there are several appeals filed and that she believes that he is innocent of certain crimes and an innocent man is going to jail. Gourdy also stated that there is some evidence that is very strong that could win new trials for approximately three of Lincoln’s cases.
