While she was calling, Barton drove off calmly.
Michael Barton, a 21-year-old man that has a kid of two years old, takes steroids to bulk up. So, it has been said that these substances affected his behavior. The defense attorney for Michael Barton confirmed that steroids influenced on temperament of his client, since these medications enhanced his levels of testosterone.
Previously Michael Barton was convicted for some crimes, including domestic violence. Last year this young person pleaded guilty to an assault, criminal damage and driving incautiously due to his anger following assaults.
