The judicial system in North Carolina (where Burris committed most of his crimes up until the murders in Gaffney) has a lot to answer for right now. This is on the heels of the murder of UNC-Chapel Hill student body president Eve Carson last year...one of her two murderers was out on probation, had never met with his probation officer here in Nifongville (Durham), but she went back in and tried to falsify the records to say he had *after* the news of the murder broke.

None of the crimes mentioned seemed to indicate he was on a path to murder?
A list of the judges who let this predator roam free should be published. We need to see who is responsible for the deaths of these murder victims. Too bad they can’t be personally sued by the grieving families.
I hope they can trace the weapon and demonstrate that it has been in Burris’ possession since before the five murders were committed. A serial killer with a gun used in multiple homicides might find it convenient to clean up and dump the weapon. The ballistics match and hopefully they did get their man, but there’s nothing in the guy’s 25 page rap sheet to indicate he’d be likely to go on a killing spree. I hope I’m just being paranoid, but I’m a little bugged by the police announcing they got the killer on one, albeit profound, piece of evidence within a few hours of his burglary and suicide-by-cop.
