I actually have thought, if it were cost effective, to sever the convicted criminal’s spinal cord as punishment for significant crimes.

Perhaps a indwelling cath that clogs every month without notice and he has to wait until Mondays to change it. Best Wishes In a message dated 11/27/2012 6:52:23 P.M.

I think he should be on house arrest - unless that means he would still get 650,000 dollars a year for care. Could he still be a danger to society? What level is his injury? All quads are not created equal... If he could be, shout it to the world - neighborhood fliers, local media, national media. The pissed off side of me (I've been dealing w/ my ex all day, so I AM grumpy) says let anyone and everyone know that he is a RAPIST & MURDERER!! His injury has done nothing to exonerate him. The calmer side of me just says, boy, is he in for a rude awakening when he has to live like the rest of us w/ just mama for his pca. He might end up wishing he was still in prison! Bottom line... Amen Bobbie! It really yanks my chain to hear that a rapist and a murder has gotten what I and most of you have been denied. He needs to be retried by a jury of quad peers ... then he might get what he really deserves! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ From: Bobbie Humphreys <[email protected]> To: John S. <[email protected]> Cc: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, November 27, 2012 6:14 PM Subject: Re: [QUAD-L] Quadriplegic released from prison Yes they absolutely should tattoo "Rapist & Murder" on his forehead. Yes, I've often felt like I was "doing time" because I was not sops to be doing what I did, riding the dirt bike. But I did. I don't believe I'm being punished, I use to, but it sure feels like it sometimes. I can't STAND that he's getting THAT much care when I need more and can't get it and MANY other's as well.

Could't they at least tattoo "RAPIST & MURDERER" on their face so people know they weren't the victim of a trajjic accident. How the hell do you get 24/7 attendant care?

Let him go. Why spend $650,000 to imprison a man who is already imprisoned.

Is his present health condition enough punishment? And just how long will it take his Mother, before she realizes that she can't take care of him 24 hours a day 7 days a week, without help?

Im not sure how many years he was in jail after he became disabled, but it was at a cost of 650,000 dollars a year to take care of him. The inmates mother agreed to take care of him upon his release and thats exactly what the state did, let him go. What do you guys think? Should he be allowed to live among the public? should the state pay the cost of attendent care because he was hurt on their watch? ron c7
