[@guylainelavoie7571]

To be honest, I'm 59 years old, and I was most of my life against the death penalty. Maybe I looked to much is a black and white manner. Manny years ago, I watched an episode of a show called true detective. It was nothing like these documentaries as in it was about one detective per episode sharing on the case that most affected them in both their work and their human side. One story took place in Vancouver Washington, terrible crimes of 4 children murdered by a sexual prredator and a psychopath called Wesrly Allan Doddx, who brutally hunted, sexually assaulted and murderedthese children oldest 11 youngest 4 yrs old. Somehow, I became obsessed with that case, and researched to a point where what I found was beyond anything I could have ever imagined and to this day, I wish I never had. After all these years, it still makes me ill. Doddx was given the death penalty, which he publically asked for, saying on camera, and chilled me to the bone, if you don't kill me, I will wait for that chance to kill a prison guard,, ESCAPE, KIDNAP RAPE AND KILL KIDS. AT THAT MOMENT, ALL THE RESERVATION I HAD ABOUT THE DEATH PENALTY I HAD, DISSAPPEARED. I was glad that Wash my Allan Doddx was Chung by the neck and I believe children are safer without a cold blooded sadist and sexually deprived, child killer. There are some I'm glad were not given death, but 300 yrs in prison, where for 23 hours of the day, they live in a cage and despite their looking cocky , are deprived of all liberty and don't get to have visitors, don't get to see the light of day. There's the matter of the appeal circuit courts they abuse at the cost of millions in taxpayer money, who don't realize that this can take 20 yrs, affording them a good legal defence to feed their MALIGNANT narcissism, at the cost of families of victims having to attend every court appeals, having to relive the most heart wrenching violence and losses. Unlike popular beliefs, it's not more expensive to keep them alive. I assure you, it isn't. And their death, are much more kind than the suffering they inflicted on these innocent victims, regardless of their standing within society With that said, I'm glad this guy here was executed and that it was the electric chair

[@michaelharvey971]

The judge should be charged for letting him out to murder

[@sherrywahl2324]

Yes I agree, judge should be accountable for his actions.

They need to be executed so there isn't a Hurricane Carter or Central Park Five situation, where killers and molesters go free because the evidence becomes "aged out" and convoluted.

[@marynahouse5853]

Unfortunately it seems like the judge had already ‘aged out’ of any sound decision making ability.

[@DinoCism]

I think he said the quiet part out loud when he said keeping him in prison didn't make "fiscal" sense. The cheap ass government doesn't want to keep killers in jail because it costs money and they don't think the lives of the average peasant is worth that money. They aren't bleeding heart humanitarians, they are greedy, corrupt bastards who don't give a fuck. They know this guy's next victim isn't likely to be them.

[@annazaman9657]

You think you’d react a certain way in a situation but it’s never the same in person. Your mind doesn’t want to go there, it doesn’t want to see what it’s really seeing. Your mind starts making excuses to justify what your seeing. It’s the body’s Survival mode!

[@DavoInMelbourne]

The second case was completely preventable. Two senior legal professionals recommended that he receive a long sentence and the judge ignored that advice and gave him 3 years. Of course, zero recourse for the judge meanwhile 2 young boys grow up without their mother. Tragic.

[@DinoCism]

The judge said the quiet part out loud "it doesn't make FISCAL sense to keep him in prison." People always wonder "do these judges have a soft spot for criminals" but at the end what it is is that the judges have a soft spot for $$$. That second woman he killed died because the state deemed that her life wasn't worth the cost of keeping this old murderer incarcerated. At the end of the day judges are rich, they live in their gated communities, not a halfway house in sight. They dump these killers on the rest of us because they we aren't worth the money to keep safe. That's what parole is actually about. It's not about being humanitarian or whatever it's a way of saving money. When you take that into account the prison system and all these true crime stories make a lot more sense in an infuriating way.

Props to the state of Nebraska for executing Joubert. Albert Flick should never have been let out. Why do the courts believe you can rehab a murderer? A killer is a killer and will always be that. He should have rotted in prison.

[@triciadomayer6760]

Joubert pled guilty in hopes of avoiding the death penalty. The judges were nope, you're gonna fry. And he did. He was executed the same night as TWA Flight 800 crashed off Long Island.

[@skuffel5405]

How many people besides me want to send a letter to that judge...shame on him!!

[@beingcarter6310]

Personally, I don’t think a murder deserves a second chance. The person who they killed doesn’t get a second chance. Lock the offender up for life 🤷🏽‍♀️

[@judybrown1810]

Agree. They need to start getting corporal punishment and enforce Oklahoma does..hmm. Think Scott Peterson is getting the chair, or whatever...clear up some prisons..

[@paolo11x11]

The key word in the Judge's statement in the Albert Flick case was "fiscal," i.e. it was going to cost the state too much to imprison Flick. And 'he looks like a sweet old man, let's give him another chance' - after just reading out a laundry list of Flick's violent crimes against women - shows an astounding lack of judgment. Do these idiot judges ever face repercussions for this kind of malpractice, or are they perpetually sheltered by their 'good old boy' networks?

[@jimwerther]

Thank your local Democrat

[@DinoCism]

I've always suspected that this is what's really behind the parole system. "We want a justice system but we don't want to pay for it, that comes out of our donors pockets."

[@LittleBittySaidit]

The judge is 100% responsible for the death of the 2nd lady in the 2nd case. He has to live with that …although I bet he’s such a narcissist that he doesn’t see it that way.

[@buschovski1]

he probably has never seen it that way. never even considered he was wrong. i sure hope hes feeling guilty for her murder. but i doubt it

[@BB-rn6so]

A narcissist. Nah. Rachel you could be exactly right. The excuse for a judge is responsible. I would be highly surprised if that judge ever gave it a second thought... Judge guilty of wrong doing.

I wonder what happened to the judge. I hope he was fired at the very least

[@shelleyg1836]

nothing will happen tothe judge. he will never face punishment for his terribly bad decision. they never do. police work like heck to catch these idiots and judges give them a slap on the wrist and set them free. disgusting u don't age out of violencd when u have a rap sheet of multiple offenses esp when u were 70 yrs old being sentenced yet again for a violent crime. judge was a complete moron.

Typical judicial system. Give repeat rapist, and child molesters a slap on the wrist, then act surprised when they do it again. Same thing here, he was violent from the beginning, and that's all he knows. The judge should be disbarred and held responsible for her murder, after all, he allowed it to happen after being warned by the d.a. and probation officer.

[@TeamCat1128]

There needs to be an accounting of judicial sentences and how successful they are in terms of the whether or not the offender immediately re-offends, especially after comments are made by the judge like the ones made here. For most of us, we’re rated on how well we do at our jobs. For judges that never seems to be the case. It’s just a “good old boy” system. It seems if we had accurate facts we could use to rate judges on, it would be helpful when it comes time to re-elect them to their seats. Just my opinion.

[@eflow4786]

There should be an article published on each Judah’s and what their rulings were on different types of cases. You NEVER hear about judges being elected because they get to hide behind government tape

That Flick was given only 3 years in 2014 after everyone involved with him, his parole officer etcetera stressed how dangerous he was is just appalling and shameful on the part of that sentencing judge, just shameful and totally irresponsible of him. I don’t usually assign individual blame on one person in situations where someone is acting in their capacity as a public servant, but in this case it’s abundantly clear that it was the judge that fUck3d up, he didn’t listen, he thought that he knew better than everyone else and he was absolutely and completely wrong. Shame on you sir, shame on you. As the woman said - it’s you that should be answering her children when they ask questions about why their mother is now dead, why the person responsible wasn’t still in prison.

[@timmspencer4632]

The strange thing to think about in the second case, is that the two boys witnessed their mother being murdered at such a young age, that a lot of the time kids who see that violence grow up and commit acts of violence. They are considered monsters to society even after their tragic past. The judge who let him go should be considered the real monster. It’s just a vicious cycle..

[@cherylmclaverty2182]

That judge should be held accountable for the light sentence cause of his age wtf.

[@amalbella8190]

Without proper help, victims of bullies could potentially become criminals. Despite the terrible crimes John Joubert did, he was a victim of the INEPT & INCOMPETENT "teacher," and the society. Before retiring, I've seen plenty of cases of bullies outside my class, my students & their parents would turn to me seeking help, & I took care of the bullies. But, when I turned to the principals, they didn't care! They said the same thing! They're disgusting! May all the victims rest in peace, including J. Joubert.

[@nikkikidd8428]

When someone kills three boys in a state that has the death penalty he is not only committing murder he is committing suicide. Whether we believe in the death penalty or not if it exists in place where someone decides to kill someone, that person is killing themselves and society should not feel like they are choosing to kill that person because he made the decision to put himself at risk of receiving the death penalty.

[@Gonegirls12]

@@manuelmoraleda9684 many of these men, are serial killers. Usually once they talk, they talk to anyone who will listen. That’s why we get cellmate snitches. I’m going general here, there are always exceptions. We have learned from killers because they get off on reliving it. Some have killers who inspired them. Many are infamous, so there is that factor too. I think the intelligence of some theses killers are being ignored. In the real world there isn’t a yearly killer convention, where they get to get together with like minded individuals. You put 50 in a room, the child killers might go quickly. My opinion is the rest will brag. Retelling is reliving, listening is maybe fascinating, interesting. I think they would brag and have fun doing it. Isolation of these men/ women is part of the punishment. There isn’t the attention. It is proven most want the attention at some point. So Hell yes I think there would be bragging amongst most. Say 1/5 of them were kiddie killers, they are killed that still leaves my 40/50 of my pretend group of killers. Even the ones who are sociopaths and psychopaths will definitely need to express their perceived superiority in intelligence and skill. Some younger killers will have older ones as idols. So yup a room full of killers, people who have never had opportunity to mingle with their own kind. Will some kill each other, yeah I think so. I strongly believe they would enjoy the “party” first. Serial killers..,. Lots of stories, how they caught. It sounds bad, but I think it could prove to be a very educational for all parts of the legal system. Unfortunately for you, you engaged an over thinker. Also someone who grew up around law enforcement and has had a bit of class time. See even I had to go on and on to express why I believe what I do. Have you really thought about it? I would love to hear your hypothesis. I am totally fine that we don’t agree. Conversation/ opinion is what interests me. Not harassment. Looking at the same idea through an others eyes, and thoughts usually provides at least one thing you learn, or can look at differently. That one thing learned is worth any intelligent conversation. Love to hear your thoughts, my intent is respectful and should you or someone else like to really talk about it as adults, I’m game.

In Flick’s case, domestic violence is the telling sign. I’m a survivor. There is no way that my ex would have stopped causing serious damage to women. It was inherent in his nature. He nearly beat his first wife to death, he told me he killed his son, and he nearly killed me and he was actually married to two other women at the time I was with him. I don’t know what happened to them but I know it wasn’t good. Serial domestic abusers need to be kept off of the streets. As the DA said 1/2 the murders were related to domestic abuse. What more do judges want? To be killed themselves?

HE too wanted to go live with his Dad, but his Dad, who could not return him to his mother because is mother was insistent on it too; immediately threw his *** $$ onto is parents instead; and sent the boy to go live on his paternal grandparents property, where he then killed both of his grandparents when he was 15. Another thing, is that Joubert apparently saw his dad attempt to strangle his mother, which might have been why his mother didn't want the Dad around when he was little. But hey, It's always the women's fault, right?

You're disgusting for using his mother as an excuse for him murdering little boys.

Did that lady let a repeat offender who had no problem killing young boys convince her that SHE would be a “killer” if he gets the death penalty? Seriously? The death penalty is not merely killing someone. The death penalty is a consequence for brutally killing innocent victims. A free person who chooses to kill should be deterred from making that choice because they could be sentenced to death, because of that choice. So, if anyone is guilty of being killed due to receiving the death penalty, for what they have done, is the offender; they chose that fate based on their choice or choices.

There are no changes if there is no accountability. That judge was arrogant & abused the awesome powers he held by offhandedly displaying his misogyny by giving this unrepentant monster a slap on the wrist. He should be made to explain his irresponsible decision to her children. This happens too often. Our system fails way too much. Millions of victims are created every year in this country because of biased, incompetent judges. It needs to stop. We need a purging of the bad apples on benches across the nation.

That judge should have his license revoked!

What I don't get is how you could ever categorise a random old guys infatuation with a much younger mother of 2 boys as Domestic violence. Yes his first murder but not the street incident. They were known to each other but certainly never in a relationship. As far the judge who was lenient I'd spit in his face given the opportunity , a coward that unleashed a killer to to it again. Who were against the professional advice of parole officers.

Enacting the death penalty does not make people “killers!” It means that law-abiding tax-paying citizens will not pay for the expense of keeping someone alive and maintained physically and medically for years and years for nothing! This only punishes people doing the right things with the burden of caring for a sick dog who not only stabbed little boys in the back, stripped one in the snow and actually bit his victims! This was a warped weirdo who begged for his own life when he had zero compassion for innocent children who cried and pleaded for their own lives. Judgement by capital punishment is justice and it is a deterrent if enacted speedily. As far as the other disgusting old man, letting him out was totally asinine! He should have been put to death the first time. This happens over and over and over again and our prisons are full of people who cause nothing but untold amounts of pain, mental torment and expense to good people who just want to live in peace! Judgement is a mercy to future victims, to past victims families and to society as a whole.
