The quote that you attributed to Judge M...Stacy: <br /><br />The quote that you attributed to Judge McGuirl in your article above is actually a statement that was made by John Foreman, the father of the child that was murdered. Mr. Foreman made this statement on a WPRO talk show, and the link that you provided within your article above (by clicking the words 'early release' in the 4th full paragraph) leads to an ABC News Article which states: <br /><br />"Foreman told WPRO, 'He should have gotten a life sentence, but stupidly I allowed a plea bargain to go so I wouldn't have to put up with the agony of hearing all the evidence at the time." <br /><br />http://abcnews.go.com/US/child-killer-michael-woodmansee-early-release-victims-father/story?id=13086509<br /><br />However, the Providence Journal did quote Judge McGuirl as having said that the news of <br />Woodmansee's upcoming release is "shocking," and that she "did not anticipate due to the condition of the defendant that he would be able to earn the maximum good-time credit." She also told the Providence Journal that the plea bargain was made in order to spare the families from having to hear all of the gruesome details of the crime.<br /><br />It would be a pretty serious situation if a prosecutor offered a plea deal to a defendant because the prosecutor, herself, did not want to go through the agony of hearing all the evidence - and in fairness I wanted to point out the error.Fitzyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12626082891256349372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6316617410436977874.post-47574882956103864912011-04-04T03:03:45.124-04:002011-04-04T03:03:45.124-04:00Stacy,

I'd really like to read the article. <br />Thanks so much!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6316617410436977874.post-11634691235555532122011-03-29T20:49:54.382-04:002011-03-29T20:49:54.382-04:00Please "like" the facebook page "ST...Please "like" the facebook page "STOP THE EARLY RELEASE OF RHODE ISLAND CANNIBAL". <br /><br />We are dedicated to concrete and LEGAL action we can take to prevent this travesty and to begin to fix our incomprehensibly-broken "legal" system.<br /><br />Thank you for this article- the best I have seen re: "Judge" McGuirl.

And SHAME on that judge for making a plea deal because he didn't want to hear the horrible details.marybowmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12755405717096381701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6316617410436977874.post-36915941934359573172011-03-11T22:06:10.805-05:002011-03-11T22:06:10.805-05:00"... before this animal is released in August...<i>"... before this animal is released in August."</i><br /><br />He isn't an animal. Animals don't do this. No animal ever flew 1200 miles to put a bomb under his ex-wife's car. No animal ever slowly fed poison to her in laws for the insurance. Call them what they are - defective human beings. Don't blame the animals. They're not involved.<br /><br />I spent time on Kodiak Island in outlying areas. With nothing to do it was suggested I walk around in the forest for a while. I asked about the Kodiak bears (huge animals with claws that would make your blood run cold). I was told to make some noise as I walked and the bears would keep away from me. If only the muggers would show such courtesy in America's major cities. No, these people aren't animals.A Voice of Sanityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11285284153694191831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6316617410436977874.post-28318575704524906662011-03-11T12:43:19.559-05:002011-03-11T12:43:19.559-05:00Another good post Stacy, reminding us that stiffer...Another good post Stacy, reminding us that stiffer penalties do help prevent crimes.Dr. Gina Simmonshttp://www.manageangerdaily.comnoreply@blogger.com
