Carson killing suspects were on probation

If I make a mistake and kill a patient, the legal system is all over me. If these legal creeps make a mistake and give probation to a criminal who kills, where are the legal ramifications for the creeps? Seems to me they should be just as liable as I am.

Thanks for the ping, abb! This story is frustrating and overwhelming. It shows the out of control problem of crime in the triangle area but it is also, I am certain, a mirror image of many cities in the US. I’ll bet it could have been written about many of the big “blue” cities- Detroit, LA, St. Louis, Philadelphia...
In the meantime, those of us who actually work for a living and obey laws are victimized by scum that should be in jail.
Unfortunately, I am not very optimistic that it’s all going to turn around soon, either. With the economy in the tank, there is going to be even less money for reform of parole systems.

Actually, I have to give the N&O credit here. This is not about the Carson case itself, but the larger, systemic problem of probation overall and state government screwing the pooch...most of all our idiot governor. Notice that he refused to answer any questions.
