The reason repeat offenders are not incarcerated is because you make more money off them with probation. Grant they never end up paying but judges and lawyers don’t care it’s another off the daily docket knowing they will offend again is job security for them. If we could truly put criminals away permanently like they should be there would not need to be so many judges,lawyers, law
enforcement people. Think about that.
Why are either of these people free? Is it the system or those running the system? When this type of violent crime occurs and those suspected of the crime have a lengthy history of the same type of crime there should be an investigation into those who saw fit to allow them freedom. If the same judge made the mistake of continuing to allow a violent felon freedom, there needs to be accountability.
If the justice system cannot hold home invaders for the safety of the public, then they are not a justice system.
What happened to the “Three strikes your out” rule/law? Anyway, Good Job Leo’s.
It’s amazing how that revolving door is our criminal justice system just keeps on spinning. No time for it to slow down. The clown that has been arrested 21 times in 15 years is a classic example if the real problem. You can bet that the judges name was Goodman or Bergosh. They keep that door well greased………
can we say repeat, repeat, repeat, many times, offenders. C’mon justice system!
Too bad LEO bullets weren’t lethal…
This was a very nice area before IVAN,I’ve seem many changes since,none good.
Great job, deputies! Glad y’all are out there keeping the hood rats at bay!
These Thugs think nothing of their life….let alone someone else…Way to go ECSO
Great job, ECSO. Thanks for being out there, at all hours of the day and night, protecting the community from low-lifes like these.
