This offender is a classic case of a justice system that’s inherently flawed. Despite a long rap sheet, he walked free from custody in 2004 from Windsor Court after a series of errors in the legal paper trail.

This particular offender should stay in jail for the maximum sentence and should be under keen watch once he’s released.
