Powerful analogy. Florida's Attorney General Crist was on Fox News this a.m. I think the state is going to step in regarding repeat offenders such as Smith.

On the other side of the coin, Governor Bush with Florida's Legislature wrote Terri's Law which the Judges REFUSE TO ABIDE BY. They are breaking the law; J. Greer, J. Baird and J. Demers. Judge Rapkin broke the law too, he's trying to say "he just had a piece of paper in front of him." Not good enough. RAPKIN DROPPED THE BALL and care more about Smith's rights than protecting society. I WISH THAT RAPKIN WOULD BE IMPEACHED OR RESIGN. If his actions were legal but just barely, Rapkin should still not be serving on the bench. He could make MORE DECISIONS IN FAVOR OF CRIMINALS.

Very much alive until Florida's Criminal Justice System failed her:

CARLIE BRUCIA

Disabled woman who's still alive but Florida's Civil Courts has tried to kill her twice already. TERRI SCHINDLER-SCHIAVO

VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN IS NO BIG DEAL IN FLORIDA. Judge Greer denied a lady a restraining order against her boyfriend who threatened her. She was DEAD two weeks later. What did Judge Greer say? something like he couldn't have predicted that. (could have done a restraining order, dufus).

What did J. Rapkin say? that he couldn't have predicted Carlie's murder. WE DON'T NEED PSYCHICS, WE NEED RESPONSIBLE JUDGES!!!!!! FLORIDA NEEDS SERIOUS REFORM and KICK SOME JUDGES OFF THEIR PEDESTALS.

As Judge Rapkin said himself "he just had a piece of paper in front of him." Well, that's entirely the wrong answer. He has unfettered access to criminal records and he also failed to heed a warning from a probation officer who stated the guy was dangerous. What did Rapkin do after they found Carlie's body? He blamed the probation dept and said "he was afraid." At least he finally woke up but it's way too late and he only woke up because "it affected him personally".

RAPKIN WAS JUST PASSING TIME TO MAKE SURE HE'D GET HIS PENSION. Who knew just a piece of paper could end so tragically?

You are right Floriduh voter. Tons of people have been breaking Terri's law since the moment it was enacted.

This should be proof to the people of Florida that their courts only intend to enforce the laws that they deem important. I guess they'll just toss out the ones they don't like.

Are they getting ready throw the Florida constitution out the window because it no longer suites their whims?
