Sought for 21 years in rape, Florida man is charged in Lowell, then let go

[Patsfan]

his next court date?? are you serious? He is already far away from this state as he can get!!!!

[VeronicaFL]

Oh great! We fly a person who is accused of rape from FL to MA (tax payers expense?)and the the judge lets him go. Now we have an accused rapist on the streets of Lowell.
Stupid, stupid, stupid.

I actually had a little vomit in my mouth reading this, I don't know why I should be surprised or shocked, the injustice of our justice system continues to reach new lows.
Doesn't it just boggle the mind how they could go through all the trouble of going to Florida to get this guy and the liberal judge just lets him go? Hey if he had pot or not paid his taxes they would have held him without bail and slapped a twenty year sentence on him ,no question about it.
But oh, if you rape or kill someone, a light slap on the wrist seems to be all you get, how terribly blatantly evil.

If this jugde thinks that sex crimes are not serious, maybe we should keep a close eye on HIM. Maybe he would commit these types of crimes also. He already has established that he's not right in the head.

This is crazy!!! He has been missing for 20 years and we just let him walk out the door.

In any other state he would of been considered a flight risk.I agree it took 20 years to get him and we let him go that is sick.

You are right the violent criminals always walk while the person smoking pot gets treated like a murderer.For some reason judges don't think sex crimes are serious they are always letting the child predators and rapist walk free among us.

It's an obvious cry for help (from the Judges) What they want is to see some good ol' fashioned lynchings.
