Colorado parole board's decision to release Vinchenzo Moscoso, a 30-year-old man accused of a double murder, has come under scrutiny. Despite the objections of his parole officer, Moscoso was allowed to walk free, only to later commit a heinous crime that claimed the lives of two innocent individuals.
The parole board's decision, which went against the parole officer's recommendation to revoke Moscoso's parole, raises serious questions about the board's commitment to public safety.
According to a recording of the parole board hearing obtained through the Colorado Open Records Act and reported by the Denver Post, the state's parole division had strongly advised revoking Moscoso's parole. Citing his history of drunk driving, the parole officer emphasized the potential danger he posed to the public.
...
Watch suspect Vicenzo Moscoso getting on the bus and casually walking to the back. This was September 2023 around five in the morning when the suspect simply lunges at the victim for apparently no apparent reason.
However, the parole board decided to continue Moscoso's parole and he was subsequently released from the Jefferson County Jail on March 29. This ill-fated decision would have dire consequences.
On September 14, Moscoso boarded a Regional Transportation District bus in Denver and callously attacked Fidel Sanchez-Banuelos, stabbing him in the neck without any provocation or warning, as stated in an arrest affidavit. He calmly exited through the back doors, leaving behind a shocked and wounded victim.
Just hours later, another stabbing was reported a few miles away.
...
A witness spotted Moscoso standing near 83-year-old Judith Corcoran, who was bleeding on the ground. When authorities apprehended Moscoso, he had blood on his hands and a bloody knife in his pocket, adding to the mounting evidence against him.
During Moscoso's parole hearing, his defense attorney shed light on his client's troubled past, revealing that he suffered from short-term memory loss and recurring headaches due to a traumatic brain injury sustained in a motorcycle crash while driving drunk. The attorney also mentioned Moscoso's struggles with drug addiction, which further complicated his cognitive abilities.
...
The parole board justified its decision by claiming that it weighed the safety of both the individual and the community. However, the tragic outcome of Moscoso's release clearly demonstrates the devastating consequences of their judgment.
Moscoso is currently awaiting trial and is being held at the Downtown Detention Center on a $5 million cash bail.
I just can’t get over how people like this go to sleep at night.
I no longer think any of those in power positions give a hoot about the publics safety.
Their positions are only to serve themselves and those who pay to play.
“The parole board justified its decision by claiming that it weighed the safety of both the individual and the community.”
It’s time to completely do away with the doctrine of qualified immunity for public officials.
L
They let this guy out due to all the people screaming about racist incarceration.
Stereotypes invent themselves.
Those who release killers to kill again despite clear warnings should be held personally accountable by the legal system.
Colorado Ping ( Let me know if you wish to be added or removed from the list.)
Any word about this fellow’s immigration status? Are there any journalists left out there? Bueller? ... Bueller?
the USA has a centralized, woke, neo-marxist ideology and mostly centralized political control as well, the main tool for this generational transformation being our bloated federal spending, printed money, and massive debt.
Even if a local parole board is nominally “independent,” the vast majority of bureaucrats will conform themselves to the prevailing governing philosophy, ESPECIALLY in democrat places.
So no - the “public’s safety” is not really what drives their decision-making.
Until people are held responsible for their decisions.
they will continue to make improper ones.
Im surprised the law hasn’t been taken into the hands of the aggrieved.
Not a biggie.
So if/when we allow oceans of these people in to roam about maiming and killing people semi-randomly, they are going to keep doing it forever. Then they are going to breed, force us to pay for their spawn, who themselves will roam around, drinking, taking drugs, stealing, killing.
They just don't care.
If you make a mistake on your job that kills somebody, you get FIRED. Not in Colorado.
Brain damage from an “accident” while he was driving his motorcycle drunk with no helmet.
Rule #1: The elites want you dead.
Releasing criminals in all part of the plan.
Try the Board for aiding and abetting those murders.
I can only hope that the parole board meets him on the street somedy.
