Framingham judges are very very soft. The softest is Judge Greco, he's nicknamed "let'em go Greco". The prosecutors always ask for bail for the very serious crimes and he let's them out with little or no bail. Even hard core career criminals.
THIS is one of the main points I refer to when I call/write my reps.
These animals are being kicked back out on the streets at rate the borders on insanity.
Yet you want to insist I'M the problem?
Karma's a nasty old bitch and if any of Martha's or Linsky's little toadies are reading this.. Here's a thought for you.
Odds are that someone you care about might just run into one of these beauties down the road.
Wifey gets a flat on the way home from the kids soccer practice.. Along comes Chester R. Molester. Not to worry he'll lend a hand.
Running into the store to grab some milk on the way home?.. Oops bad, timing. Place is being held up by Mr." out on parole for his 3rd armed robbery". This time he decides no witnesses. Sorry.
Stupid should hurt...

Another day in the the low risk-high reward criminal themepark of Massachusetts.
Why isn't this shitbag being charged under the Federal laws regarding the sawed off shotgun and defaced serial numbers ???
These charges alone should be good to keep him off the streets for 20 years.

In fact if all state and federal laws that are on the books were applied to a convicted felon, using/possessing, a firearm in the commision of a violent crime. The total sentance could add up to 300 years!

Great get them off the street, instead of prosecuting them 40 times.

What race is stainless?
I see this more of an issue in regards to having a "speedy trial". 18+ months out on bail and no trial? Come on now.

cracka, I guess.
Letter to Todd Smola and Stephen Brewer:
After reading this article in the Marlborough Patch, I am astounded that this is even an issue. To summarize, you have an individual out on bail 18 months after an armed robbery charge in which a sawed off shotgun was used. Possession of the firearm alone carries a 10 year Federal sentence (NFA 1934) While out on bail, this individual allegedly committed 2 additional armed robberies using a revolver with the serial number defaced. Possession of this firearm carries an additional Federal penalty as a felony under GCA 1968. Notwithstanding 3 armed robberies and the applicable state charges regarding the firearms, this individual, found guilty of the charges faces a substantial prison sentence; By some estimations, something on the order of 300 years.
Now this begs a couple of questions-
1) Why, when certain individuals in the House and Senate are working diligently to restrict further the rights of legal, law abiding gun owners, are we not stringently enforcing the multitude of laws we already have? I would insist that you (as my representation) propose these questions to those legislators when these sorts of bills arise.
2) Why is a person facing a 10 year Federal penalty, various state penalties, and accused of using a sawed off shotgun out on bail at all? Further, I would ask why this individual has waited 18 months for a “fair and speedy trial” ? Shall we wait until a legislator’s family member is killed at some convenience store before this is a problem? How many heinous crimes does an individual have to commit before bail is denied at all and person goes to trial in a reasonable period of time?
This individual is now being held on $50,000 bail as well. After Deval Patrick signed “Melissa’s Bill” last year, you would think that prosecutors and judges would take these sorts of offenses a little more seriously. Using the above as context, they obviously didn’t get the message. Apparently, they mock the legislature and their efforts to get crimes such as this under some degree of control in the Commonwealth.
Judges thumbing their noses at the legislature and, by proxy, the constituency, need to be sanctioned. Before the constituency starts thumbing their noses at your efforts altogether, and telling the legislature to pound sand when they pass yet another firearms law that won’t be followed by criminals, I would suggest that an effort be made to get the judicial branch in line with the efforts of the community to ensure the safety of its citizens.

The criminal justice system in Massachusetts does not concern itself with justice. It concerns itself with lining the pockets of the politicians, lawyers and judges. They will all make much more money with 40 prosecutions than say 4 prosecutions. That is not how it should be, but, in fact, operates this way.
Silly question here but what the heck is the difference between “masked robbery” with a so shotgun and one where there is just a “robbery” with a so shotgun? Does this state actually (cough, cough) add more years to someone who uses a mask during a robbery?
Tried a quick search for masked robbery but that did not help. Thanks.

Job security for everyone working in the legal system.
The same way local stores make a living from the continuing patronage of repeat customers.

What we need to understand it that the pols want these people on the streets.
Don't think so?
No one has ever explained to the citizens of this state how a career criminal serving 3 life sentances and classified as a sociopath, was let out on the streets to end up killing a police officer in Woburn.
A parole board of what is it 5 or 6 people?, sat at a table, reviewed his history and turned him loose on us.
If it had not been a LEO he murdered, how much coverage would it have gotten? ( No disrespect intended).
They knew exactly what they let out.
Afterwards they were shielded and allowed to skulk back into the shadows.
Not a one of them was called out on the carpet and made to account for what they did.
It's intentional, Believe it
