I understand that he should have been off the streets. I have said that also, that he had a history. But, again, I just can't see that anything in this guy's history would have predicted he would have killed a little girl.

And I am sure that the judges, etc, that kept being lenient on him probably thought they were trying to help him out; not that they were letting a guy go to kill a little girl.

Little story. I was married to a police officer a few years back. In his "rookie year" he pulled over a vehicle with 3 teenage boys who were intoxicated. His CO pulled up behind and decided that they should not arrest the boys. And since they lived just down the road, he (CO) followed them home and let them go.

A few hours later, one of the boys got back in the vehicle, went out on the street, ran a red light, and killed a young woman. My ex lived with the guilt of that young woman's death. He wanted to take the boys in, but the CO was showing compassion. They never imagined that one of those kids would take a life.

I find it hard to believe this was his first experience with a child. I am sure we will hear he has been a predator of children for some time.

He was a predator for quite some time. The other "women" fought back. Going younger worked like a charm. It's also been raised that maybe he's responsible for the murder of an art gallery owner in that area who was mutilated by a knife. He told one of his other victims "I am going to cut you." HE SOUNDS SERIAL TO ME.
