13 Time convicted felon….makes you wonder why he’s out on the streets.
@ Jeremiah’ Thompson
Seek help and knowledge.
Its apparent in you incoherent ramblings you are
dillusional.
You never know what if this guy had straightened his act up and just relapsed, and a motherfreaking bullet give me a break to the fella that said lock him up and pitch the key next time you mess up do you wish the baddest outcome for yourself no i dont think so , so don’t be so quick to judge….i see it. Like It was personal use get him some help
our justice system is a joke. the public is taxed to death and thrown to the wolves.
13 months working 12 hours a day busting rocks would make him think twice about the 14th arrest.
For many years now, I have done research on each judge that comes up for election, or re-election. I even research their spouses. I like to know if they are conservative or liberal in their thinking, support and voting history. I also look to see who originally appointed them. It would be nice to know any other resources available to the public that would help voters make informed decisions. Lord knows, we don’t want the kind of judicial system they have in the big (democratic led) northern cities, or the liberal west coast cities.
@none.
That is a brilliant observation. I vote no for retaining every judge on the ballot ever year.
@Carolyn
I believe the three strikes may be felonies with a gun, not just any three felonies.
Maybe 14 is the lucky number.
Probably not but maybe…..
13th time is the charm?
lock him up , pitch the key
Our Justice system is a failure
The reason this individual is out is simple..He has no assets for the judicial system to take.If he was working and owned real property the system would take everything they could. Same question could be asked why are all of these illegals working in the area doing construction work without any question. It’s all about money people.
Now this is a complete failure of the justice system !!!! 13 times ya got to be kidding me!!!!!!
He hasn’t learned and it doesn’t seem that he will. Time to take out the trash and be done.
The Florida Legislature is the body who writes the laws. They are elected by the people.
The judiciary of the State of Florida follow the minimum and maximum sentencing guidelines. They are elected by the people or appointed by the executive branch (governor).
The state attorney’s office is the public entity deciding on what to pursue, drop, etc. based upon evidence and plea bargaining. Appointed by the governor.
The people in office have been overwhelmingly elected and re-elected for years. Why are we expecting different results?
Let him go again the streets are full of thugs.
“Shaughnessy has 13 prior felony convictions,:
Another multiple felony conviction offender. Surprise surprise. I think we should bring back the 3 strikes you’re out rule…. only make it 3 strikes and you are out as in out of this world permanently. These folks know they can continuously break the law with a slap on the wrist and law enforcement is overwhelmed and the criminals know it.
why was this person ever out–how many breaks does a criminal get ????
Why was he EVER out
At 38 years old how is it with all those convictions he was out on the streets? What happened to ‘3 strikes you’re out’?
