Sex Offender Gets Life For Violating Probation

March 21, 2014

A convicted sex offender was sentenced to life in prison Thursday for violating his probation.

In 1989, Timothy Richard Jordan was convicted of sexual Battery, robbery with a weapon, and attempted murder of a student at UWF. He was sentenced to 40 years state prison to be followed by 10 years of probation. Jordan was released in 2007. In July 2013, Jordan violated his probation by resisting an officer without violence and failure to comply with sexual offender regulations.

Judge Linda Nobles sentenced Jordan to life in prison.

    later on …
    imo causing death would be benificial to some of these people : either they are ruthless , either they cannot live with the horror they committed . So on the one hand i am pro dp ; on the other many many people were at the wrong place at the wrong time and on top of that they are looked at as ‘weird’ – while at the very same time they are innocent to any extend . Then what ? As much as i don’t want to waste as much as half a buck on ruthless crap , i don’t like the idea i sent an innocent man into death for the failors of the system .
    What about those who can get away with mass murder through their acts in the financial , economical and political area ? They too live on our planet .
    Most of times i try and stick to what our Lord said : even the smallest of good deeds will be aknowledged .

    Sentenced to 40 years and gets out in less than 20?! There should be no such thing as getting out early for good behavior. Bad behavior put them there in the first place. Absolutely ludicrous. At least he’s back where he belongs. May he rot in hell once he’s done rotting here.

    May he burn in hell when the time comes!

    On average, across all 50 states, a death row inmate costs $1.12 million more than a general population inmate. Read about it…..to those upset that taxpayer $ is wasted on a life sentence. Just saying

    Thank goodness he will never see freedom again. At age 16 he kidnapped, raped, mutilated, stabbed, robbed…..and still acted with no remorse, no maturity, no sense of decency when he was GIFTED with an early parole. The only thing his future held on the outside of prison was a chance to hone his skill at hiding his lifeless victims. He’s an unredeemable creature of despicable evil.

    Where does it come from? This pure, horrific, evil. I will never understand it and how it can exist. There must have been something in His upbringing that cultivated and nurtured it. However, some people are simply born as mental defectives and sociopaths.

    The system has failed. The brutality of what he did to his victim he should have been executed. There is no rehabilitation for that kind of monster. Rot in hell and too bad taxpayers have to pay to keep him alive.

    Our parole system is broken if this monster was set free. These people letting this people out should be forced to live with them, if someone is to get attacked raped and murdered it should be them.

    I just watched the show I survived and got curios because he only got 40 years and he must be out now. I feel much better knowing he’s not out walking around knowing what he did .

    Finally a judge who takes sentencing seriously. Thank you Judge Nobles for giving us some faith in the judicial system. The only thing better would have been castration along with the life term.

  11. perdido fisherman on March 21st, 2014 11:48 pm

    Life is not good enough, he should have been executed, there is no fixing these defilers of children, when will the laws be made to really suit the crime for these monsters. When there is absolutely no doubt at all, the sentence should be DEATH.

  12. mick on March 21st, 2014 7:25 pm

    He should have never been reeased in the first place, no sympathy for the dregs of society PUT THEM AWAY ONCE BE DONE WITH IT !

    I’ve seen Judge Nobles in court. If you’re given a chance to “fly right” and then she sees you on a second strike, she takes it personally. I think that’s totally understandable and fair. It’s like a slap in the face to the judges. Good job Judge Nobles.

  14. Bill Peterson on March 21st, 2014 9:59 am

    His sentence will probably be calculated at 25 years = life for the violation of probation, since he will be grandfathered in under the 65% statue which was changed in the 90’s.

    Good job judge nobles

    Not much different than the situation with Eric Scott Branch, who raped and murdered a student at UWF, was proven with DNA, got the death penalty and is still living on our dime. Justice is best served Swift… Look See…alive and apparently well fed… http://www.dc.state.fl.us/activeinmates/detail.asp?Bookmark=1&From=list&SessionID=470184782

    Bratt, I wondered the same thing but since he was sentenced to life and not “25 years”, he’ll serve life. The article didn’t mention life without parole though so I will wonder if he’ll ever be eligible for it. I hope not.

    I know this guy personally. Was in prison with him for a while. He is an idiot and needs to be in prison. But under the Old system you did 65% of your time after a 1/3 was taken off. But since 1995 it is 85% for most people. But glad he is away.

  19. No Excuses on March 21st, 2014 8:43 am

    What a chance! 18 years on a 40 year sentence? He lasted around 5 years once he got out, then into trouble again. Life in prison without parole is a pretty sure thing, I hope!

  20. Workin Man on March 21st, 2014 8:04 am

    Good job Mrs. Nobles

  21. JT on March 21st, 2014 7:45 am

    Thank you Judge Nobles. He should never of been out in the first place but glad to see a judge give some common sense sentencing,

  22. Former Bratt on March 21st, 2014 7:32 am

    So if 40 years really means 18 years served, how long is life? It is crazy how our justice system is. The justice system needs to simplify things.

    40 = 40
    life = forever

    Sexual battery, robbery and attempted murder on a young student!

    He should have been euthanized from the get/go. Let the devil restore his civil rights.

  24. Big red on March 21st, 2014 5:56 am

    Good job judge Nobles. This animal was sentenced to forty years and served less than half of it. He was given a break (less than half his sentence)and can’t seem to follow the rules that he was given upon release. Good riddence. I really wonder how the victim felt after he only served 18 years from a 40 year sentence?
