Paroled Too Soon! How Our Legal System Fails Us, Part 4

I watch a lot of television. Mainly because, I don't go out. I don't like crowds or to mix it up with strangers in bars, clubs and other social establishments. I used to love to attend concerts. In my younger years, I attended many rock concerts in sports venues with friends and strangers squeezed together like canned fish sitting in a haze of smoke getting a contact high from clouds billowing above our heads listening to music with decibels high enough to make our ears bleed. I was young. It was fun. But nowadays, I just can't be bothered. I'd rather sit home and live vicariously through the cable programming that I pay $200 plus per month.

This past weekend I stumbled on a program called the The Lake Erie Murders. It's a series on ID (Investigative Discovery) Channel. These shows disturb and anger me. Mostly because I see how fuct up our legal system is...in every state. This time I'm pointing my "Finger of Shame" at Maine and Michigan. And especially the judges. Sometimes these guys don't fulfill their duty and fail to protect the public. I'll explain further shortly.

The other group independent of the jurists are the parole boards. I don't know the criteria used to determine releasing some of these animals, but they either need to stiffen their standards or the courts need to stiffen the penalties. If you kill someone, you shouldn't be able to be released in less than 10 or even 25 years which affords you the opportunity to kill again. I'll briefly describe two cases which really have my panties in a bunch.
Kimberley Dobbie
Case #1:
First, I'd like to discuss a case that has nothing to do with the television program. In 1979, a man stabs his wife 14 times in her chest killing her in front of her daughter. He was found guilty, sentenced 30 years, served 25 years and was released. (He should never have been released, ever.) Six years pass, Albert Flick, again, was arrested for assaulting a woman with a knife. In spite of the prosecution's insistence of a stronger sentence, the judge gave Flick a light sentence citing his age and considered him to not be a threat. He was 69 years old. This poor judicial decision allowed him to be released in 2014. (He still should never have been released, ever.) In 2018, Flick was arrested for stabbing and killing Kimberly Dobbie, 48. He stabbed her 11 times in front of her twin 11 year-old boys in full daylight in front of a laundromat in Lewiston, Maine. Anyone of the knife wounds were fatal. Flick was 77 at the time. Both the knife purchases and the murder were caught on CCTV, which was used in his trial.

The man had a history of violence toward woman. Between 2000 and 2010, Flick was in court for one thing or another including criminal threatening, assault and violating probation. His crimes were showing a pattern of escalating violence with each subsequent occurrence. His sentences kept being plead down to lighter sentences.

As a repeat offender, he should have been locked up for good. His age, which was in the 60s and 70s, probably played a role in his lighter sentences. Age, gender, race, creed or anything should never be taken into consideration when it comes to assessing penalties. Justice is supposed to be blind. But again and again we witness where a judge's personal convictions are the deciding factors ignoring common sense.

On June 2, 2007, Flick was arrested in Portland and charged with misdemeanor assault involving domestic violence. Additional charges of criminal threatening, felony assault and aggravated assault were later added, but the aggravated assault charge was dismissed as part of a plea deal. He was sentenced to serve six months. [Press Herald, Judith Meyer]

He again assaulted a woman in 2010 with a knife. Because of his age, the judge thought he would  "age out" of violence. Whatever the fahk that means. He was wrong. He imposed a light sentence of two years. The idiot jurist's name will not be withheld. His name is Robert Crowley. If he hadn't retired in August 2010, the bastard should have been removed for ineffectiveness.

After his two years, he sought out and again threatened the same woman from which he was just paroled. He was sent back to prison again for another two years. (I can't say it enough. He should have never been released, ever.)

Then the Dobbie murder happened, which could have been prevented. Should have left him in prison, forever.

Ms. Dobbie knew Flick and had on numerous occasions rejected his advances. It's these rejections that drove him to purchase the knives used to murder Dobbie. It took the jury less than an hour to reach a verdict. He was found guilty in 2019 and sentenced to life in prison. This POS should never be released from prison. May he die in prison and soon. Why burden the Maine tax payers with his worthless upkeep?!


Michelle, 16, Melissa, 14, Kami, 18, and Cynthia, 15

Case #2:The POS involved in this case is Leslie Allen Williams. I won't post pictures of these human trash. They don't deserve to breathe the same air as law abiding Americans, let alone notoriety with a picture in a BLOG. His is a story that proves that we are too soft on criminals. We give them too many chances to fahk us. And they almost always do.

In a sleepy, small village like Milford, Michigan in Oakland County, the residents would never have dreamt, neigh had nightmares, that murder and fear would dominate their lovely hamlet. But it did. This goes a long way to prove that nowhere is safe in this country.

Williams' victims were sweet, innocent children: Kami Villanueva, 18, sisters Melissa and Michelle Urbin, 14 and 16 and Cynthia Marie Jones, 15. He was 38 at the time of the murders in 1991-92. He was arrested after attempting to abduct (to rape) a 35 year old woman in 1992. Upon his arrest, he confessed to the four rape-murders. I don't know if he grew a conscience or was bragging. But they caught that limp-dicked fahk.

Williams had an extensive history of criminal activity since his youth. Prior to the rapes and murders of the four teens, Williams had been in and out of prison several times making parole each time barely serving the minimum penalty imposed upon him.

Since 1971, Williams has been convicted and sentenced (lightly) for breaking and entering as well as rape and assault. Each time, he would receive a light sentence and would make parole. As a repeat offender, he should never have been allowed his freedom. His crimes are of the most violent kind. Violent offenders do not rehabilitate in prison. If anything, they become more violent, better criminals. In many cases, they play the system and hide under the radar in the hopes of being set free unto an unsuspecting innocent public by a naive parole board following weak standards. In Michigan, it's almost a given.

To further point out the weakness of our criminal court system, in 1976, Williams was convicted of rape. He eventually was paroled for that crime only to assault again. Rapists like murderers should be imprisoned and never released. Rape is not a one-time opportunity type of crime. This is an obsession that just doesn't go away. How do I know? I do an awful lot of reading of real crime novels. I've drawn my own conclusions and I still believe we need to stop protecting the criminal and start protecting the innocents in this country by dealing harsher penalties. You know, life in prison where they actually die in prison. I think that's fair. I actually believe Williams should have been given a death penalty. But that's just me.

His last sentencing was in 1983, when he threatened and abducted a woman, releasing her unharmed. Mr. Williams was sentenced to concurrent terms of 5 to 10 years in prison for the assault and 7 to 30 years under the state's habitual offender law. He served seven years and was paroled in 1990. [Murderpedia/New York Times article] If I was a Michiganian, I'd be infuriated and incensed. If he was serving the 30 year sentence, that asshola would still be in prison and those four girls would still be alive. Theoretically. I can't predict the future...yet. But boy if I did, I know a few people's future would be very dim and dire.

Consistently, he would commit heinous, violent crimes and yet would be given light sentences and would serve the minimum and be paroled so he could prey on. Why? What is wrong with our penal system? If he was a black man, he'd have been sentenced to the maximum and would still be rotting in prison. But not if you're a white man. That's some bullshite. It's just so fuct up.

"The parole board represents the bureaucratic interests of emptying beds and not one of them represents the public safety interest," said George Ward, Wayne County's Chief Assistant Prosecutor. He also stated that Mr. Williams's history of paroles was typical. There's a cancer in our penal system. It's called the Parole Board, especially this one in Michigan. Their reasons for releasing this animal into the general population was he completed his GED and has started work on an Associate's degree and has been a model prisoner working diligently in the prison factory for five years and participating in psychological counseling for over a year. However, these facts would bring no solace to the families of the four young women raped and murdered by this POS.

The Incarcerated are at their best while in captivity because they're kept on a forced schedule. They're watched and punished when they step out of line. You wouldn't let a presumed docile domesticated lion free to roam the city streets because they've been in captivity their whole life. No. Their wildness is in their DNA. They'd resort to their original hunter selves. And poof! There goes the toy poodle population.

On the outside, the parolee is empowered to be the wild animal that they truly are. No one is watching them. They can come and go and do what they please. At least twenty percent of paroled convicts in Michigan end up back in prison. Sometimes for worse crimes than their original crimes. Another twenty percent reenters for parole violations. Nearly half of those paroled are recidivists. Is that a sign there are issues with the parole system criteria? You goddamn better believe it is.

Back to the POS Williams. How does a slimy ass-sucker like him get close enough to the innocent to indulge in his sick deeds? Deception? Intimidation? Force by knife-point? How about all three? Yes. All of the above was the correct answer.

In the case of Cindy Jones, masked and wielding a knife, he zip-tied Cindy's boyfriend and abducted Cindy to later rape and kill her after telling them that he only wanted their car. For the Urbin girls, while on a walk in a park, he surprised them. Flashed his knife and forced them into bushes to obey his commands lest they wanted him to kill the other sister. He raped first one then the other. In the end, he killed them both all the same. Williams was bold enough to abduct Kami from her home. None of these young ladies deserved the horror they had to endure from this monster.

What tears it for me more is he appeared on an episode of Oprah and proudly announced if he ever got out he would rape and murder again. If that doesn't scream, let's euthanize this asshole, nothing does.

For now both these ass bandits will live the rest of their lives in prison. We can only hope that it's not a happy existence and soon to be a miserable death. Hope and vengeance is all we have. I'm not a turn-the-other-cheek kind of guy. I don't forgive. EVER. We can't sit back and let things just roll. We need to become outraged and demand better of our governments. Federal, State and Local. Don't take subpar administration. Replace them. Demand more from your government.

Whew! This gets me so emotional. The sad and senseless loss of innocent, decent lives. I weep for the women in this country. If I had a superpower, it would be the ability to stop and smite the scum that ruins lives of not only their victims but their families and extended families. You don't know how many lives one person touches. And how many are effected by one death. Like a pebble skipping across a pond, the ripples at first spread across the pond quickly but then slowly covering the whole pond. That's exactly what one sweet life does with a family, town, state, nation or even the world. One life touches us all!

Try to stay safe. Wear masks. Look over your shoulder or better yet, STAY HOME! Until next time, TTFN.

How The New Mexican Government And Prison System Failed Its People

Anyone who knows me knows I like mystery and crime stories, especially true crime. So, I am a huge fan and viewer of the Investigation Discovery network. I view many programs and have my favorites. One show I recently stumbled upon was "Surviving Evil" hosted by the stunning actress, Charisma Carpenter , who herself a crime survivor. She and two friends suffered at the hands of a violent serial rapist and police officer Henry Hubbard, Jr. on San Diego's Torrey Pines State Beach in 1991. I don't want to go on about her, her surviving her attack or even the ID program, which airs Thursdays at 9 pm and re-airs throughout the week and is available On Demand. Well, actually, I do want to speak about one episode from the current season (the 3rd season), but not the show as much as how the law failed to truly punish the perpetrator of this crime. The show titled "Escaping The Arroyo" interviews the one surviving victim and tells the horrific story about two whi...

My First Blog

Unless I'm already mentally or emotionally stirred up I find it difficult to start anything.  Be it a rant, a conversation or a writing.  I'm sure if I don't get bored or disillusioned I will have something interesting or controversial to say.  I might even drop an occasional F bomb.   As this is my first outing, I will insert many random thoughts that clearly will lack continuity or proper linkage.  I will sound like a mental patient or someone suffering from Alzheimer's.  For instance, tomorrow is my birthday.  I turn 55.  Who cares, right?  Why are we so self-absorbed with ourselves?  I know from my POV I want to rule the world, be famous and shag any girl I desire.  I also know, as I'm sure you do too, that that's just not going to happen...ever.  But without these little dreams/daydreams I'd find it more difficult to crawl out of bed most mornings.   Random thought #2:  How do people quote lines by fa...

The JetBlue Fashion Police Takes A Bite Out Of ?????

I'll start off by saying that I have no love for JetBlue or any airliner for that matter. But with their latest allowance of employee empowerment to make fashion decisions or to determine what is proper flight attire solidifies why I will never fly with them. They have permanently joined the "I-won't-fly" ranks of American Airlines, Delta and Frontier Airlines. Though I find the young woman's outfit more suited for trolling Walmart or lounging around the house, there is nothing illicit, illegal or obscene to warrant being forced into a wardrobe change prior to boarding her Boston to Seattle flight or to suffer being removed from the flight altogether. If she passed through security that should be good enough. Also, this girl's ass makes that shite work. Work it honey. I'm a little sick and tired of reading about the morality police. People take their job duties beyond the job description into the realm where no customer service personnel should ever ...
