Disgusted

There are horrible events that happen all over the world at every second of the day. We don't know about them, until it happens close to home. Over the weekend here a 13 year old girl was murdered. She went out for a jog and never returned. Her body was found shortly after. She was a talented and gifted child attending a school for creative and performing arts. It is a tragic story.

What is more tragic is the man who is accused of killing her has a long history. This is a prime example of why something needs done to our justice system. Here is a short list of what this man has done in the past:

-Was sentenced in 1987 to spend seven to 25 years in prison on charges of voluntary manslaughter and aggravated arson. He was 18 at the time, was charged with murder and arson for assaulting a woman, dousing her with lighter fluid and setting fire to her. He served 16 years and was released on parole Sept. 3, 2003

-That October he was released from probation for that crime.

-Three months later he was accused of breaking into a woman’s home and raping her. He was acquitted of that charge.

-In 2007, he was found guilty of putting a knife to the neck of an 18-month-old child.

- That same year he was accused of exposing himself to a 13-year-old girl.

- Was ordered to live at sex offenders program home where he was ordered to leave that facility on Feb. 27, after he was caught fighting with an inmate. He parole officer was notified and he could not be located. The search went on for a week..a warrant was issued for his arrest after he is accused of breaking into a man’s home and repeatedly stabbing him with scissors on March 1,

-Then five days later, he is accused of threatening the mother of his child with a knife, a violation of a protection order put in place in 2007

-Now this Sunday, March 15, the police finally found him and have arrested him for the murder of this 13 year old girl.


WHY??? This sickens me...I'm all for an 'eye for an eye'. Hey Obama...why don't we use some of the stimulus money for building more jail space for disgusting people like this and get tougher on them! This is just ridiculous.

My thoughts and prayers go out to the family and friends of this little girl...
