It seems that Mr Biggs was facing attempted first-degree murder charges in Henry County, Tennessee, where he had tried to lure his wife to her death. <\/p>\n<p>When he went to court to answer for the charges, he made up some stories about his military experience and training to mitigate the charges. It worked for about a minute &#8211; he pleaded guilty to attempted second-degree murder and he was probably pretty proud of himself. Then the local constabulary looked into his military background and determined that he had lied to the court;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Biggs also filed a falsified military document to support his testimony, according to the release.<\/p>\n<p>Biggs&#8217; sentencing for attempted second-degree murder originally scheduled for May 8 has been reset for July 13, at which time prosecutors will present evidence regarding his testimony.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This is an example of the stolen valor claims that occur throughout this country, and the Henry County Sheriff&#8217;s Office along with the district attorney&#8217;s office intend on prosecuting Guy Biggs for his actions to the fullest extent of the law,&#8221; the release states. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Biggs had claimed that he had seven years of service, but it turns out that he had a little more than a year. He also claimed that he had Purple Hearts and a Silver Star which was also untrue. Biggs told the judge that he had deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan, but he had never left the country. <\/p>\n<p>All of my admiration and respect to the Henry County law enforcement officers for their diligence in this case. We&#8217;ve seen criminals walk because they lie to the courts and got away with it. People like <a href=\"http:\/\/valorguardians.com\/blog\/?p=48212\">Charles Chavous<\/a> whose lies about his service were rewarded with a sentence of 5 years probation for what was actually 1st degree murder.<\/p>\n<p>I guess my corollary that stolen valor indicates other, more serious crimes goes both ways. Military service mentioned during an investigation of more serious crimes is usually stolen valor or at least deserves investigation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Someone sent us a link on Facebook about this Guy Biggs fellow.
