I am glad this man resisted and was shot dead (of course I am bias having been in law enforcement) otherwise he would be free for years as the courts tossed all the legal games.
Comments about the article:
A very well written article that shows two very important sides among others: That parole needs review and that those who helped this murderer are going to be punished.
A police officer committing this kind of crime is appalling, as it cast such a dark cloud over the working of decent and honest men of the fine law enforcement Organizations. Further I sure would like to know how here the wheels of justice slowed to a snails pace. This crime took place in 2007 and he just now (17JUL09) pleads guilty and to make it worse, will not be scheduled for sentancing until November 18. What went so wrong in the federal courts? But we know the federal justice system is missing hundreds of judges that have been held up in both the Senate and the White House- for many a year!
As for CNN & the Author, I made these comments:
There is no explanation of why there is such a delay in justice, the offense occurred in 2007, now in 2009 he pleads guilty. Wheres the why.
There is no link to this thought but it is really starting to annoy me that all the television show people who have some crime happen to them and they take the word of the person who committed the crime's word: DO NOT CALL THE POLICE.
This is really so mad, bad, wrong. People need to be educated that the Police are the one's that they must call. TV should be educating people that it is OK and what the police due to help and how they solve crimes- they do not make matters worse.
The city of Phoenix (Arizona) Police Department has lost 11 rifles!! I will admit it could be accounting errors, the extreme danger is that the department only has rifles for a very few, 1 in 10, of its officers and will NOT allow their men to arm them selves with their own rifles which all the men have been fighting for the right to do so for years.
