BRYAN - A convicted murderer, who escaped the death penalty, was given a life sentence, and then was released on parole, is going back to prison on another life sentence - this time for the rape last fall of a 9-year-old girl near a Bryan elementary school.

What the hell is wrong with Ohio ? Why do they insist on releasing this monster to prey on children?

Doesn't Ohio have the life without parole option? At least a monster like this one wouldn't have been back out in society and free to prey on others.

Classic reason for the death penalty.

Why is this pathetic pile of greasy... still breathing?

[NonValueAdded]

It's time to make parole boards serve the remainder of the original sentence in cases like this one. Chilling effect of future paroles? NVA says "Bite me!"

[DTogo]

Good to see our "justice" system failing the people yet again...

[MBB1984]

That is why we must abolish the death penalty. I can't imagine a society that believes the punishment must fit the crime. An individual has a right to express himself or herself through any means necessary. Society must learn that killers have a constiutional right to commmit murder. They were born that way, so who are we to judge?

One day they will learn that parole is not a good answer in these cases - most likely when their own daughter is violated by one of these monsters.

A revolving prison door serves no one.

Just look at all the legal fees that never would have been billed if this guy had got the chair.

It would have been a disaster for Big Law.

In 1998, after being out of prison for slightly more than three years, he was sent back to prison for unlawful sexual contact with a 4-year-old. Less than five years later, he was out on parole again and moved to Bryan.

"The real unusual part is that he got out," Williams County Common Pleas Court Judge Anthony Gretick said. "It's extremely unusual. I've not seen circumstances as unusual as this."

Sallows, who was sentenced by Judge Gretick this week, remained in the Corrections Center of Northwest Ohio last night, awaiting another hearing in Williams County Common Pleas Court to decide whether he should be designated a sexual predator.

What the....?

I read your post and agree. Also Pedophiles have a right to have sex with small children if its consentual, and thieves are sick just as alcoholics and drug addicts are they have every right to steal if their sickness tells them to do it.

I would like to add a sarcasm tag to my post.

Pedophilia has only one cure death.
The part that makes this dangerous is that divorce lawyers use this as an atomic bomb. Wrongful use of this charge should be penalized with disbarment

[Incandesia]

if he would be paroled from prison again, state law would require that his neighbors be notified of his history wherever he lives.

Oh, well, as long as his future neighbors are notified, that way they can lock their kids away from this animal so he can go about his rehabilitation in peace. < /sarcasm

Sexual contact with a four year old; For some men, testicles should be a privilege, not a right.

[jocon307]

Read the whole story, it gets worse. From the article "This is the second time that Donald James Sallows, Jr., 54, who was involved in the kidnapping and strangulation of a South Toledo man in 1977, has violated his parole by having sexual contact with children.

In 1998, after being out of prison for slightly more than three years, he was sent back to prison for unlawful sexual contact with a 4-year-old. Less than five years later, he was out on parole again..."

Later a Judge says it is "unusual" for this to happen, but I wonder if that statement is accurate. Maybe the "unusual" part is the guy getting caught. I would think violating your life-sentance parole would be enough to send you back to prison, FOR LIFE, REALLY THIS TIME!

Let's see... Sexual contact with a 4 year old, raping a 9 year old...

It's important that he be deemed a sexual predator and be required to register..

Not the dreaded registration! /sarcasm

The SOB should have been executed years ago, imho.

[Ready4Freddy]

Ohio does have Life without parole for Aggravated Murder and Murder, if a sexual motivation or sexual predator specification is attached. His original sentence was for a crime in 1977, and I'm sure the sentencing laws have changed since then.

Some DP states, like Texas, don't have or want Life without parole because they think that it would make DP sentences less likely in some cases.

Doesn't Ohio have the life without parole option?

[jocon307]

Yeah, yeah, I loved that part too! If they ever decide to parole him again, they MIGHT make him register as a sex offender.

If the whole thing weren't so offensive it would be funny.

[nothingnew]

With or without the bun? What about CONDOMents?

Thanks. Interesting ino. California is a DP state, but for the most part a DP ends up being life without parole. Cal also has a life without parole option for murder. I don't what the penalties are fork rape and sexual predators.
