   REGARDING:
   ” our justice system makes more money”

   the justice system doesn’t actually make money off of bonding. The bondsmen do. The courts hold the bond until after the trial unless the accused breaks bond, violates terms of release, at which time the money is returned. Usually the people don’t actually put up their own money but if they do, they get it all back when it is over, guilty or innocent. Bondsmen guarantee the money to the courts if they don’t show and in turn they usually take ten percent of the amount and never return it.

   Cheaper to stay out of trouble.

   The bonds are low so they can make money. Cost more to keep them in jail. And if there lucky they will be arrested a few more times before they go to trial then they bond out again and our justice system makes more money. See how this works?

   Since when do we do owe the stupid people in our society, such as these two, anything because they decided to make the voluntary choice to do drugs. We owe them nothing. If they are stupid enough to get hooked on drugs, then let them rot! If they want to become violent, then put a bullet in their head, just like their counterpart got!

   REGARDING:
   “I personally think there should be some kind of charges filed for the cop getting shop not just the drug charges. Something for just being there. Isnt there a law for that?”

   I wouldn’t think so. Imagine you were at Wal-Mart and someone pulled a gun and shot someone else. Should you be charged for being there at the time?

   If the shooting were part of a crime they were both committing, I think they could be charged for felony murder because someone got killed during the commission of the crime, even though it was the one committing the crime. It doesn’t look like it was part of this instance, though. I could be wrong, though.

   In response to: Crap “Have you heard of “innocent until proven guilty in a court of law”? I know that 99 percent of the time the deputies arrest the right people but that 1 percent that is trully innocent is the reason why they dont spend atleast 90 days in jail.

   When we’re talking drug use and addiction a simple blood test would keep the innocent from spending 90 days in jail. In my opinion, if they are innocent they wouldn’t have illegal drugs in their blood system. You’ve got to get the drug out of their blood system to even began the task of keeping it out of their mind on a daily basis. As long as its in their blood system their mind is telling them, more! more! more! 90 days might not cure the addiction, but it could be a beginning. I know that as long as they can gain access to the drug the problem is not going to get better and will likely get worse. I don’t know how long it takes to deplete meth from a persons blood system but I think that’s how long they should be locked away from the drug. After that a mandatory blood test monthly for a year. If caught with the drug in their blood stream or fail to take the blood test, a mandatory 2 year jail sentence. The laws have to get stricter on the users of meth. people are dying because of this drug and the problem is getting worse.

   “so you’re still blaming the justice system?”

   “what does the Escambia County Legal system have to do with these two? ”

   __________________________________________________________

   I’m saying that the arrest, trial, and disposition process here is a revolving door that seldom involves enough social services options to entice addicts in particular to hit the rehab trail.

   The economy can barely support clean and sober people at this point. Freshly bailed and facing trial, where are they gonna go, what are they gonna do except cook a fresh batch and wait for the next deputy. Who will be the next to die in a hail of gunfire?

   “Wouldn’t it be cool if they dropped out of the drug scene completely, rehabbed and rejoined society productively?” was simply wishful thinking on my part.

   Human waste is wasteful and these two are affecting dozens, if not hundreds of people in their misery.

   Me for agreeing with David Hugie Green….what does the Escambia County Legal system have to do with these two? I never knew it was HRS and the legal system’s job to raise people’s children for them. And on the law getting tougher on getting the stuff to make meth, have you tried to buy zyrtec d lately? You have to just about give them your whole life history to buy anything over-the-counter that has a decongestant. The evil government is doing what they can…addicts are dangerous..

    Have you heard of “innocent until proven guilty in a court of law”? I know that 99 percent of the time the deputies arrest the right people but that 1 percent that is trully innocent is the reason why they dont spend atleast 90 days in jail. I know theres no doubt that theses 2 people were there and on drugs at the time, but our judicial system cant pick and choose when to force laws and when not to. Plus i dont think 90 days in jail will cure someone whos addicted to drugs. Thats why people go to prison for 5 yers and start up again when they get out. Let the court system do their job and maybe they will get this one right. I personally think there should be some kind of charges filed for the cop getting shop not just the drug charges. Something for just being there. Isnt there a law for that?

    I am wonderiing why the bond for production of a dangerous drug is set so low, especially in an incident that involved the shooting of a Deputy and the death of an accomplice…and one has bonded out already? Is he back at the mote cooking up his dangerous concoction?

12. Fred on October 3rd, 2010 9:20 am

    So Eric James Sherbutt was arrested and bonded right out of jail. Now he can go back to the streets and support his addiction.

    We need to adopt a new law. It should be at least 90 days in jail without bond when a person is arrested for a meth addiction. We’re not going to rehab these people as long as they can have access to the drug that controls their mind.

    “An 18 year old girl screwed up on meth”

    We’ve got to get stricter with the laws pertaining to this drug!

13. David Huie Green on October 3rd, 2010 9:02 am

    so you’re still blaming the justice system?

    “Ain’t we a pair?”

    Tina turner to Mel Gibson in Mad Max, Beyond Thunderdome.

    Having the sense to stay out of a gunfight lends hope to these two. Wouldn’t it be cool if they dropped out of the drug scene completely, rehabbed and rejoined society productively?

    Oh wait. We’re talking about the Escambia County Justice System.

    Still one can hope and pray.
