We recently had a similar case here in Green Bay.
A man was sent to prison for 18 years and was freed a couple of years ago when DNA evidence cleared him.
On Halloween a woman went missing after taking some photos for Auto Trader magazine of a car he had for sale. A couple of weeks later they found her remains in a burn pit near his house, her car hidden in his family's junk yard (with his blood inside), and her car key in his bedroom (his blood on it). So much for his wrongful imprisonment case against the county.
I'm not in favor of killing the perp based on someone's accusation, but if it were my daughter, I would confront the bastard. If he laughed at me and asked me what I was going to do about it, I wouldn't hesitate to cap him. Innocent people don't react that way.
True, but we don't know if he actually said that - that is just the mothers story. The mother showed up at his work and started leveling accusations which may or may not have been true - thanks to her temper no one will ever know.
Anyway, if someone showed up at my work and starting leveling accusations of something I didn't do, I'd probably tell them to "do whatever you want just hit the road".
I don't quite follow - on what grounds was he released?
That is horrible.
In MD a "mentally handicapped man" with a history of molestation/sexual assault [both child and adult] was paroled.
Within one week of his release, he snatched a beautiful little boy from a Frederick 7-11 and took him to a nearby baseball field dugout.
He sodomized him and then beat him to death with a bat.
I never heard whether the death penalty argument was settled or not.
Some felt it cruel because he was something like mildly retarded.
He knew enough to bait the child outside with a Slurpee, take him to a place where no one would see and then commit murder to cover the rape so, IMO, he knew he enough to be killed for it.
