Any judge who lets a criminal out on probation, and the criminal commits a crime, ought to go to jail himself, or lose his job.

that said, what is it with this following quote? "As Carlie's story continues to unfold before a national audience, investigators with the Sarasota County Sheriff's Office, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement and the FBI remain tight-lipped regarding the details behind the abduction and murder of the McIntosh Middle School sixth-grader."

This did not happen in school, after school, etc. can't she just be identified as the child of her parents? Why does she have to be identified as the child of a middle school? Did she belong to the state school? Does a school mourn her death? No, her parents mourn her death. What is it with this?

Am I missing something here?

Good point. I have noted that the school principal has shoved his face in front of every camera that would allow it. He appears to enjoy the limelight.

The media consistently reinforces the "State" and diminish the "individual". It's the subtle brainwashing of the public.

The police will not release the manner of death. At least I've not heard how he murdered the innocent Carlie.

The entire world saw this guy kidnap Carlie. Smith got caught in the act. Do we have his TRIAL on MARS? Okay by me, suit him up and launch him to Mars with Judge Paperpusher Rapkin. "It was just a piece of paper."

Carlie was "just a human being", Judge. IMPEACH HIM, VOTE HIM OUT. Rapkin, Ripken, whatever MUST GO.

Bill O' Reilly is obsessed with Carlie's murder.
