“Police catch them but they don’t cook them. “ Please judges don’t let violent criminals back on the streets as you did with Basil who was let out after only a few months after assaulting Anastasia and given free housing in a new apartment in Palmer Rapids a few miles away from her and then he murdered her along with two other beautiful woman in one morning. Light Sentencing, free housing, free living expenses, free access to the same area the violent crime was committed is but blind collusion in sentencing of violent criminals. In this case here please Judge do not repeat the same, what I call the reward sentencing to violent criminals due to possible fear that they will come after you when released, instead turn it over to a less fearful Judge.
