One of the brightest posts I've seen on this board. Until some of our elected and appointed public officials and employees are held to some degree of accountability, nothing will change.

I agree. Law makers, the elite, and those in power only get a slap on the wrist if that.

Personally my Rights were walked all over in a court of law. The lawyer was also a northern county judge. I filed a formal complaint, and he was 'retired' from the case, and the Pro Conduct Committee saw fit to slap him on the wrist. That is all that happenes to the elilte.

The ordinary citizen takes the hit time and again.

The way the law should work is there is no paroll for a crime of violent nature, however the violent are the first to be parolled.

IMO this action is done to create more law to subject the citizen, and cost Freedom.

IIRC "kitty" the govnors wife took to heavy drinking, I think that was the total cost for the furlow. That and 25,000 25 thousand pages of mincy gun law.

IMO anyone who wants 'authority' shouldn't have any.

Things as this case really do BLOW!
The Parole Board let him go, not the judge. The judge sentenced him to three life sentences to be served concurrently!

So far as I know, present or not, a judge signs off on any one parolled. IMO anyone that has the slighest bit of say is guilty for accompis to murder, when any violent criminal is parolled.

That anyone that in an act of self dence shooting a parollee in SD, should also have the Right to sue the entire paroll board.

Once I was a victim of a long time convict, a parollee. He didn't get to far, and his days are limited to a wheel chair, but I still want that paroll board. That will never happen of course. The x con was wanted for 6 more bench warrents all related to violence.

This must stop.

MA Parole Board membership:

THE ROLE OF PAROLE (http://www.crjustice.org/rolparol.htm - broken link)

Another hypothesis for the Commonwealth's declining parole grant rates has to do with a subtle but systematic shift in the membership of the parole board. The Parole Board consists of seven members with expertise in criminal justice or the behavioral sciences all of whom are appointed by the Governor for a term of five years. In the event of a vacancy, a panel may be appointed by the Governor to submit a list of individuals from which the Governor can choose a replacement. While the statute directs that the list of individuals represent a variety of disciplines including "an attorney admitted to practice law in Massachusetts, a psychiatrist who is a member in good standing of the American Psychiatric Association, a psychologist certified by the Massachusetts Board of Certification in Psychology, Inc., and a member of the Massachusetts parole staff" it does not mandate diversity of the Parole Board. Today we find that the six members of the parole board have backgrounds in law enforcement and served as former assistant district attorneys, state troopers, police officers, and probation officers prior to their appointments.

Murder is a relative term. Technically a wife who kills her husband who was beating her and was going to kill her, murdered him. But that doesn't mean she was in the wrong either.

I don't like definitive terms in our judicial system. Saying that anyone who murders should be executed is just asking for trouble. But I agree, this animal should have been locked up for the rest of his life at a minimum.

Remember you feel this way when Mike Huckabee when the nomination for the Republican party. President Obama hasn't let cop killers go

MA Parole Board Members in 2008 in link below. As you will see, many of them are indeed former law enforcement officers and former prosecutors. Who says this board was made up of bleedingheart liberals?

You guys need a new theory. This is a crew out of the DA, Probation and Police Depts. Very unlikely to be liberal.

More likely constrained by law or requirements.
