He killed his mother and assaulted prison guards, yet this judge releases him on personal recognizance? What kind of “judgment” is that? I don’t supposed the Boston Globe bothered to report on his release, before these two new victims were murdered. Is there a way to remove judges in Massachusetts? The DA’s office might think about hiring a spokesperson who could bring situations like this to the attention of the public, so at least people would be warned.
That’s the kind of judgment we can expect from judges appointed by Mitt Romney.
Judges can be recalled by petition in Massachusetts, but the Legislature (being almost 90% Democrat) would certainly find a way to kill it. I know that people who haven’t lived in Mass. wonder why Mitt Romney would ever appoint a Democrat to a judgeship. The reason is that there were few eligible Republicans in the state of whom the legislature would approve. Today, there are even fewer.
