The courts had acknowledged that the perp had already tried twice to abduct the young woman directly from the street by their having issued a restraining order.
What goon looking to kidnap a girl like that is going to pay any attention to such an order?
Another criminal NY should have had off the streets before his latest crime.
I've been over this with so many friends who think a TRO is anything but a scrap of paper, and "guns are so scary."
