Romney’s Willie Horton!
just more RINO crap from this liberal........
Are you FREAKING kidding me?
I don’t know who this grieving dad voted for but you are right about the American people, and MA voters especially, continuing to elect the same lefties who put these lenient laws and judges in place. Then they complain about soft on crime attitudes.
If there is to be a picket at the judge’s office I hope it is posted. I will go up there if I can.
The victims lived in Washington state, so I doubt if they or their parents voted for Ted Kennedy.
“Jeez, I cant think straight after wrestling with a slippery 18 lb bird.”
Hi Southerngl....is this you?

Real change will occur after very good men are forced to do very bad things. This is something I truly believe. I don’t know if someone said it before me.
Judges and politicians have lost their fear of the governed. I feel for the victims’ families and am amazed at the amount of restraint and mercy they’ve shown to the people responsible for freeing this man so he might kill again.
OH MY GOD!!! Minus the busted window and husband with concussion, yes that is me. hahaha
Agreed
He was charged with assaulting a prison guard, a pretty routine matter. The DA did not ask for a dangerousness hearing.
blah, blah, blah. So we now excuse such appointment decisions -- on the occasion of a horrible double murder of innocents -- and fail to hold accountability because of political expediency? Give me a break. I'll hold my breath waiting for Romney's apology on this one.
wait. you mean this criminal didn't follow the existing gun laws??? outrageous!
quote: "But Romney stopped short of expressing regret for his nomination of Superior Court Judge Kathe M. Tuttman. Overturning the bail decision of a lower court on charges he assaulted prison guards, Tuttman set Tavares free July 16."
quote: "While some speculated that the nomination could emerge as a thorny issue for Romney, noted political scientist Larry Sabato of the University of Virginias Center for Politics said, Romney has a way out, but he hasnt used it. This is so egregious he ought to come out and say, Im sorry I appointed (the judge).
quote: If he doesnt (apologize), Sabato said, hes asking for a negative attack ad, which would be a devastation. It will compare him perhaps unfairly to the Dukakis furlough program.

One other thing: How about bringing back the death penalty for guys like this? That should have happened after he knifed his mother to death in 1991 and we wouldn't be dealing with him in 2007 and the trauma he has caused to society.

ROMNEY NOMINATES FOUR WOMEN TO JUDICIARY
Governor Mitt Romney announced today that he has nominated four women to serve as judges in the Massachusetts trial court system, the largest number of female candidates ever brought forward at one time.
Romney has made the appointment of women to the states courts a priority, and recently asked his Judicial Nominating Council to bring forward the names of more female and minority applicants. If these four women are all confirmed by the Governors Council, women will represent 36% of the appointments made by Romney for judicial office, which includes judges and clerk magistrate positions.
I am pleased with the outstanding qualifications of the individuals I have nominated to the bench, Romney said. They have the capability, the qualifications and the experience to be fair and balanced jurists.
Nominated were:
* Kathe M. Tuttman of Andover, as Associate Justice of the Superior Court;
* Tracy L. Lyons of Marblehead, as Associate Justice of the Brighton division of the Boston Municipal Court;
* Therese M. Wright of West Barnstable, as Associate Justice of the Edgartown District Court; and,
* Merita A. Hopkins of Boston, as Associate Justice of the Superior Court.
Tuttman has served as an Assistant District Attorney in the Essex County District Attorneys Office since 1989. During that time, she has held various positions, including Director of the Family Crimes and Sexual Assault Unit, Superior Court Prosecutor and Lead Prosecutor for Lawrence District Courts Domestic Violence Unit. She has also served on the Pediatric Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner Advisory Group for the Massachusetts Department of Public Health.
Tuttman graduated with a bachelors degree from Brandeis University in 1974 and received her law degree from Suffolk University Law School, cum laude, in 1988.
He should be proud...
The RINO twit...
Why is anyone on this site supporting Romney?
We are the Number one CONSERVATIVE site on the net...
Why do we let violent prisoners out of jail, ever?
