Massachusetts judges really need to be elected because the current appointment system is failing us miserably:

A convicted sex offender arrested this week on charges of raping a 6-year-old boy in the public library had been released from prison a year ago, despite the strenuous objections of the district attorney and three psychologists who argued that he posed a serious threat to children.

Superior Court Judge Richard Moses denied the prosecutor’s motion to keep Corey Saunders in custody indefinitely, arguing that he had a low IQ and had suffered physical and sexual abuse as a child.

So, the bleeding heart JD overruled 3 PhDs. Isn’t that nice? The case for keeping this predator locked up was strong, but the judge “knew” better. And although he should be removed from the bench, my guess is that very little will happen. Welcome to justice in MA where criminal rights and bleeding hearts come first.

Combine our judges with Patrick’s CORI “reforms” and pretty soon the real prisoners will be the average person in their home.
