Typical arrogant liberal judge. He can rot in hell, too.

[Gatún(CraigIsaMangoTreeLawyer)]

There needs to be a recall started.

[Savage Beast]

Of course this is emotionally charged. It should be. But judges, parole board members, or whoever releases dangerous criminals to prey on the public should be held accountable.

[alisasny]

Liberals are reacting with horror on this one too, something good may come of this.

We in the meantime have to get out the message how liberal judges are ruining the juidical system and its not about them being proabortion.

[Johnny_Cipher]

I heard a radio interview with this piece of worthless liberal trash yesterday evening. He was whining about "not being able to sleep" since the child was found dead. May he never sleep again.

[wita]

Just a little perspective on the numbers of children killed by predators, compared to automobile accidents, "as seen on tv", it is thousands of times more, and just as horrifying and brutal, although it is more than likely less personal.We are witnessing the emotionally charged reaction to one uncontrolled addicted sleezeball, who probably should not have been on the street, and probably not in jail either although that would have kept him off the street.

Children and adults have, are and will suffer at the hands of predators, and stupid stupid drivers, and wouldn't we say on the average that most stupid stupid drivers inflicting harm on children, just might be the parents of those same children, Hmmmm? Except of course when the "accident" is not the fault of one of the drivers, although it takes two to tangle.

My point is not to be flamed, but to point out that if there is a focus, it certainly ought to be on the more dangerous and prolific manners of death to children. Drowning is also way above kidnap murder. The emotional reaction is for the parents, and democrats. I have not trouble focusing righteous indignation on liberal judges, always keeping in mind that we as humans liberal or otherwise are far from perfect, and need to practise moderation in our outrage lest we become as those we so love to skewer with their weakness.

[AEMILIUS PAULUS]

Is there a picture of this "judge?"

[laredo44]

"If I thought that not signing a warrant caused this girl's death, I'd quit," Rapkin said. "I couldn't live with myself. But that didn't happen. I did my job."

Judge Harry is a liar because, as we all know, liberals never give up power voluntarily.

[Jim Noble]

Florida law requires prosecutors to get a grand jury indictment for a first-degree murder charge.

I thought it was the Fifth Amendment.

[Godfollow]

"'If I thought that not signing a warrant caused this girl's death, I'd quit," Rapkin said. "I couldn't live with myself. But that didn't happen. I did my job.'"

The idiot bastard said there was no evidence that Smith willingly didn't pay $170 court costs... yet Smith was able to purchase drugs. A liberal judge always looks for ways to flummox the will of the people, always.

Freepers ought to hold vigil in front of this axholzz house until he moves from the state or hangs himself in self disgust, but since he's a liberal, we'll have to settle for him leaving the state.

[Tacis]

Fox, last night, had the friend of Smith who turned him in. He saw the tape, knew it was Smith and called police. The interviewer's first question was, "Could your friend Smith have done this terrible thing?" The guy's answer keynotes the problems that they will have.

He asnwered by saying, "No, not if he was in his right mind." Turns out Smith is a doper. Thus, we have from day one that he wasn't himself, it was the dope. This defense has failed many times, but you known some shifty lawyer will use it.

A perceptive judge would have seen the drug use as key and put Smith away. My bet is that this judge cuts corners so as to be able to do other things. The other things can be his private law practice, boating, involvemnt in some charitable committee(s), a girl friend, or some other non-court room time user. Anyone have a bio on the weasel judge?

[KC_Conspirator]

If doctors can be sued for malpractice, then why can't lawyers and judges? Seriously, it needs to happen.

[jmstein7]

BUMP!

[tuckrdout]

Right, KILL Terri Schindler Schiavo---but give this guy lienency!

This type of thing makes a person want to be a vigilanty! We need to hang these types of guys, when our kids can not even walk a few blocks at 6 o'clock at night....our country is not in good shape. And it ain't even the cops! Sometimes they try hard, working months, then a judge just throws it all out! Or lets the scum out of jail....crazy!

[peteram]

Sadly, this type of scenario has been happening more frequently down here. Maybe not on as big a scale as this case, but certainly in local cases there have been numerous instances of store clerks, gas attendants, and kids being harmed or killed by someone who rightfully should have been in jail at the time. In some cases it was traced back to early release due to prison overcrowding (another pet issue of the liberals). Something needs to be done about this, and maybe the good that will come from Carlie's case is that closer attention will be paid to who gets out and who doesn't.

[Big Horn]

This happens all the time by liberal judges. Everyday you hear of criminals put back out on the street so it don't cause them extra work. Liberals are often lazy.
Juries are responsible for murderers beating the system. The trial layers know how to pick the most easy to influence to put on the jury. Our judicial system stinks.

[mabelkitty]

Judge is lying.
Violating probation by failing a mandatory drug test has nothing to do with not paying.

[Triple Word Score]

Okay, the judge is bad, and negligent, and all, but hindsight is 20/20 and this JP Smith killed Carlia. Nobody else did it--he did it. He is responsible for his actions--no one else. He made choices--I think this is a slow version of suicide-by-cop.

99% of druggies don't kill anybody (but themselves.)

In the final analysis, no human justice system can possibly prevent things like this from happening. And we can't afford to lock up everybody who "might" do something bad.

I personally would like to see dangerous types humanely executed. We don't put rabid dogs in a cage together for awhile and then let them out expecting them to be better.

The main thing here is to note that the 23 year old he tried to abduct earlier screamed and fought until rescued, so he set his sights on a more compliant age. Let us educate our children--NEVER let a kidnapper move you to HIS choice of crime scene. Even if he threatens you with a gun or threatens to kill your family (or does!) don't ever go with the bad guy...or at least make sure that if you lose, there's lots of forensics left at the scene.

[Agnes Heep]

I can see where a judge might not have a grounding in human behavior, but most sentencing is done under the guidelines handed down by a pre-sentencing study, and at that point there should be trained professionals (not psychologists, one would hope) who know enough about criminal behavior to determine whether a particular individual is liable to be a danger. In this case even a layman could have seen the potential for some serious trouble down the road. The pioneering criminologist J. Paul De River opined that under no circumstances should sexual criminals be allowed to plea-bargain or otherwise beat the system--he knew firsthand how dangerous they were.

[Oatka]

"This is not just a wrinkle in the law, it happens all the time," Lipinski said. "Judges are blamed because they're the easiest targets around."

Sir, they are the easiest targets because they are the perpetrators of these miscarriages.

[Chris Talk]

This judge, who is Jewish and a Democrat, should read the old Rabbinical saying:

He who tries to be Kind to the Cruel, ...will end up by
being Cruel to the Kind!

That is at least 1800 years old I daresay, and nothing has changed.
