https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-new...eing-deemed-too-old-kill-again-kills-n1031736 This is a really sick story. An argument against the death penalty is that life in prison is good enough. Is it? I'm just sicked this vicious murderer was allowed to murder again. Your thoughts?
Odd story...the headline suggests his age is why he was released yet the story says otherwise. Back in 1979, he killed his wife, Sandra, in shockingly similar circumstances, stabbing her to death while the woman's young daughter was nearby. He was convicted of murder and served 25 years behind bars. After his release in 2004, Flick was convicted of assaulting two other women in 2010. A judge sentenced Flick to almost four years behind bars — resisting recommendations of prosecutors and probation officials to give him eight or nine years, believing the man would be too old to commit any more violent acts. Edit: I should have read it more closely. My mistake.
believing the man would be too old to commit any more violent acts.\ At some point, Mr. Flick is going to age out of his capacity to engage in this conduct, and incarcerating him beyond the time that he ages out doesn't seem to me to make good sense from a criminological or fiscal perspective," Maine Superior Court Justice Robert E. Crowley said at the time.
Seems a judge went with his woke feelings instead of logic and now another family gets to mourn. You cant redeem some people. Call it evil or call it insane or just make up a term...
