Bureaucrats Never Have to Deal With Their Failures

From Dana Pico at The First Street Journal: Hold them accountable!.

What happens when judges, prosecutors, parole boards, whoever, screw up and turn violent criminals loose? Nothing happens to the bureaucrats. People often end up paying extreme prices. Some people die.

Well, at least one parole official has had at least the grace to resign for her actions, though it is my belief that she should be behind bars herself.

This guy has, as they say, a history of violence. Threats and violence. Violations of protection form abuse orders. And yet the parole board, let him go early.

LeeAnn Miller, a member of the parole board, ran the hearing and recommended this guy, Corsetti Brand, be paroled.

One day after he was released on parole, he attacked Laterria Smith, 33, stabbing her, and he killed her 11-year-old-son, Jayden Perkins.

I’m sorry, but just how f(ornicating) stupid do you have to be to have released a guy like that? If the accusations against Mr Brand are accurate, then it is clear that LeAnn Miller is personally responsible for young Jayden Perkins murder, and the wounding of Laterria Smith. No, she didn’t put the knife in Mr Brand’s hand, but she put him out on the street where he could get one, and from where he could get to their apartment.

Review Board Chairman Donald Shelton resigned later in the day.

Miller resigned 10 days after the crime. Shelton later that same day. Nothing else will happen to them. Keeping violent criminals in jail is unfair. And expensive. So they have to be released. It is the Social Justice thing to do. Or something.
