This was already covered in the other thread.
Parole board is following the law. Not a judge thing best I can tell.
The 3 consecutive life in prison sentences were not with the “without parol”
option apparently.
While the particulars in this case would certainly raise legitimate
concerns, this may be unintended consequences of the legislative update to
the penal code.
Do you realize what you just pointed out?
It means that these type of monsters have a green light to do what they do best. Destroy people’s lives and communities. The number role of any elected official is to protect the community. Clearly this D.A, judge or whoever does not see it that way.
What judge ?
The parole board is following the law as spelled out.
I have an issue with the wording in the elderly parole program that
allows this to slip thru the cracks, but that has to be addressed by the legislature
to fix it.
So it’s perfectly valid to be furious at the parole board for granting this person parole because they could’ve denied it. Same with the law as written that didn’t disallow violent sexual predators to be excluded from the law.
But as @NRGcoog pointed out, be mad at the right people.
Judge, parole board, it is so convenient to pass on the puck. No one wants to be accountable it seems like. This has to be a wake up call for any state dealing with these types of monsters. There is no way in hell this monster should step outside of prison. A death row inmate can have his execution stopped at any time by the POTUS. This monster ought to be stopped from freedom the same way. Is that legally possible and do precedents exists?
If the law permits him to be paroled, and it is within the parole board’s legal discretion, then unfortunately, probably little can be done.
The legislature simply needs to pass legalization to not allow this in the future.
I think you mean SCOTUS here ? POTUS can’t intervene in state’s execution; not
their domain.
And this is not a case about a death row inmate, so it’s just superfluous to bring that up in this case.
Only thing I could imagine happening is if the governor(?) convened an emergency legislative session to put the correct verbiage in the penal code to prevent this sort
of thing. But not sure of timing and if it could be made retroactive.
The original DA wrote a letter advocating that the guy be placed under control of state’s mental institution and not be given freedom. Not sure how that will play out;
hopefully it will keep him off the street.
I also wonder how successful this elderly parole program is at putting people back
in society. They have no current skills, are old and probably not fit for any physical
labor. Where are they to go and what are they to do exactly ?
Moved to where this was already discussed a few days ago
What needs to happen is to have another “step” to a parole board. Clearly this possible release should never happen and more importantly should never be considered. The California Gov passed a law. That is clearly on him. These are the consequences of this. If this law had not been passed this possible release would had never been considered.
Now regarding the parole board. Who are these people? How on earth could they even vote yes to release this monster?..and they are on the parole board?
The legislation needs to be passed establishing that step.
As for who is on the parole board, I would think that it is public record and can be looked up.
Typically are parole members appointed by the state’s governor?
That’s how it is in Texas.
So newsome is indeed responsible for this.
Yeah, but in CA, while they are nominated by the Gov, they have to be confirmed by the legislature.
Who nominates the legislature, are they elected?
Of course the legislators have to be elected.
How often does the legislature go against the governor?
I don’t think you want that applied broadly.
That sort of thing is only for those other people
I’ve seen police do incompetent things in investing a crime that implicated innocent people first hand.
We can not trust the government for many things and I don’t know why people trust them with killing people.
How many more examples does there need to be?
