Lets see, just off the top of my head. Just read where the oldest inmate on death row, died at the age of 94. Seems his criminal record went back into the '30's. He was convicted of killing a police officer in '47, served 25 years, got out and killed another guy that had a coin shop, served 20 years, escaped, shot another person, and finally dies in prison. There was the guy that killed the 4 officers in Wash. There was a perp here in Toledo back in the '80's, raped and killed an 8 year girl, and stuck her in the floor boards of the house he was living in. When they did some digging, seems that his record dated back into the early '60's for child molestation,Texas,La., had him serve limited time, then cut him loose after just a couple years. How about the little girl in Florida last year, guy down the road, convicted sex offender, killed and raped her. Truth be known, if the judicial system had a batting average, they wouldn't have a high enough average to play single A ball in Pawtuckett,R.I. gypsyman
