HAS EVERYONE on Beacon Hill fallen fast asleep?
Two people were just slain by a Massachusetts thug who was released on personal recognizance rather than having to make steep bail. And who then skipped town and fled to Washington state, where he was arrested last Monday and charged with killing young newlyweds Brian and Beverly Mauck in their home.
But so far, the official reaction here has been so muted as to defy belief.
We have a governor who, to burnish his tough-on-crime bona fides in last year's campaign, portrayed himself as an experienced former federal prosecutor who had put people in prison.
We have an attorney general who said her days as Middlesex district attorney showed she was an accomplished prosecutor ready to protect public safety.
We have a House speaker who thinks he's really governor. We have a Senate president eager to make her mark.
Are they all still sluggishly digesting their Thanksgiving turkey?
It's not enough to say, as Governor Patrick did on Monday - a full week after Daniel Tavares Jr.'s arrest for the Washington couple's murder - that he has asked his public safety secretary to review the case to help him understand exactly what happened.
Tavares allegedly executed two people, and from what we've read, there was ample reason to suspect he might do something like that. After all, he had stabbed his mother to death with a carving knife, allegedly assaulted several prison guards, and made several death threats, at least two of which were against public officials.
We've read about the threat against Mitt Romney. On Monday, former attorney general Thomas Reilly confirmed that Tavares had also made a threat against him.

I think they should form a commission....yeah, that’s it...
Industrial Light and Magic?
However, the BGlobe has controlled the Judiciary in Massachusetts through its OWNERSHIP of the Chief Judge (D.S.Africa,NewYorkTimes).
If the paper is so outraged why didn’t they name the judge that let him go?
and why has not one article mentioned the name of the perps lawyer at the time of the release?
Not to mention that the Globe was, and is, one of those organizations that prefers that a potential judge be of a certain sex and political persuasion . . . qualifications be damned.
Why else would the Globe publish an article like this when the judge was appointed to the bench?
This judge and others like them should be taken to a gallows and hung with a NOOSE!
His chief argument at the bail hearing was "hey, my client's never fled before, so why would he flee now?" More puzzling, though, is that Dynice told Tuttman his client would wear a monitoring device, but Tuttman basically thought it was unnecessary.
Judge Kathe Tuttman:
She is a registered democrat, a feminist that donated to Clinton’s leftist cabinet member Robert Reich, when he ran for governor in 2002.
She was a Romney affirmative action appointment, married to a liberal defense attorney.
She was Romney’s choice, a republican does not have to be a mind reader when it comes to not appointing registered democrats.
"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." - Manuel II Palelologus
Judge Kathe Tuttman USED TO WORK FOR the public safety secretary when he was a DA, so I ask you,,,,how much do you think this safety secretary is going to cover up????
