“He legally changed his name…”
This, legal name changes, should be strictly forbidden for convicted sex offenders.
Hard to conceive that it would be allowed!
@@shabbykat273 yet it was. In Maryland, a known sex offender, in prison for multiple offenses against children, one of whom was his own daughter, legally changed his name. Disgusting. We’re currently attempting to pass legislation to preclude convicted sex offenders from legally change their names.
To Samwise, of all things! This guy doesn't deserve that name!
I'd like to know how he went about doing that because it's really not that easy, because you have to change your SS# with that and that's the part that isn't so easy
@@marciayoung8735 it’s easy when you aren’t paying for it, AND you have 24/7 free time to fiddle with it.
So let me get this straight he assaulted a one putting her lawnmower away with a gun and got five years probation that judge needs to be in jail
100%
That was in 1979. The judge may no longer be alive.
In the 70s this was a common sentence. I remember they let out a guy back then who almost killed a girl and he went on to become a serial killer.
If that had been my mama I would have been put in prison for attacking that judge. Five years and none of it in jail. That's is disgusting.
At a minimum publish the judge's name.
We need to start arresting judges that continuously let violent offenders out. It would stop this
Yeah, what the hell was this judge smoking when they released this guy???
It’s the fault of the prosecutors too.
The supreme court gave them all immunity
If you think they're soft on crime today take a look at the sentences handed out in the 70s and previous to that.
100% Yep!
He's EVIL. Lock him up for life.
lol. I knew some idiot would say this. Life is 5 years for him. This is basically retirement for him 😂😂. Free food and housing, no bills, any work he “does” will not be straining. Gets to sit out in the yard and complain about life just like the old folks
@@gamertech9871 Oh yeah, he will have resort living in prison, once convicted.
He will rise and shine when the guards say so, will eat slop for most, if not all, of his meals, will be told what to do and how to do it, will be sharing a cell with one or two other felons, and will have no freedom. No fresh air, no safety, no special treatment. He will be invisible. Personally, he belongs six feet under.
why should tax payers be punished? If guilty, he has to go.
And there are literally thousands like him, or worse walking around free right now.
He's a waste of space. Woke Liberalism obviously doesn't work.
How can creatures like that keep getting out....but you still have people locked up from the 90s for selling weed?
Do you really tho?
. 🤔 Interesting how DNA is exonerating black men but convicting white men every year 🤔
Democrats….. they screw everything up !
@@trentbrownstone1481is this a question? Do you really tho, , tho? The word
"Think" too long to write, also ,if in doubt, did you look it up first,.. trump?
Must be a reason they're trying to change the law, or you've haven't been paying attention?
@@pfflyer3381 Actually, it's an abbreviation of "though." The unabbreviated sentence would read: "Do you really, though?"
Why !!!! why did the SYSTEM let him out to commit more crimes!!!
The system is only around because of crime. Job security
Because he's white
Because he didn't have life in prison. They can't hold him past his sentence.
Don't act like you don't know.
The no melanin factor
I wonder what other crimes/murders has he committed but not been caught for?
Many.
He once tried to rp me but I kicked his arse. I'm also from Everett. 😊
@@ytsux9259 Shut up.
Why did they keep releasing this predator in the first place???!!!! Families of victims who came after he was released should be able to sue the 💩 out of them for that.
The time has come when the victims TURN the Judicial system against itself. Arrest judges, DA’s, bondsmen who continue to let off criminals and Sue Sue Sue.
White
@@leroy1012Nailed it!! 👏👏👏👏
For sure; several years ago a convicted sex offender, out on parole, was moving to Lynnwood WA; he was required to notify he neighborhood. Well, they took care of that and he never lived in their neighborhood.
deport them to Antarctica
Why was he ever free in the first place after all those crimes?! In some countries, he would have been deleted after the first violent crime
The attitude towards r@pe and attempted r@pe was very different back in those days. It was so hard to get the police and court systems to treat it as the horrific act it is. Women were almost exclusively blamed and the cross examinations in court could induce PTSD and/or nervous breakdowns in the victims.
@@civillady13 that’s crazy. A person like this should be locked in the basement of the jail forever. All those he harmed didn’t have to go thru what they went thru.
@@civillady13😅😅
@@bbrcummins1984 I’m interested in your response to my comment. Which part makes you laugh? Are you female? Did you come of age in the timeframe of his attacks? I would really like to know.
Hmm ... Interesting how DNA is exonerating black men but convicting white men every year 🤔
Whoever lets this guy back out on the Streets again should be arrested and put in jail themselves.
He's never getting out
@@user-lw7ry6qk1w If you would have told me that 30 years ago I would have believed it .today No I don't believe anything they say.
Under the jail!
He should of been in jail for life for what he did to the sisters!!!!
The main crime is sick enough but the way he did it was even sicker!
I remember the case you did this to a woman while her child was in the car!
That's exactly why I believe in the death penalty!
Before the U.S. Supreme Court weak ruling in 1977, he would have got d.p. for that one. That is what this country used to do to his kind.
Especially with his prior conviction! Which should have put him away for 20 years itself!
He tore that 🐱 up
He was a proven danger to society and should never have been released!
This is a man who should have spent the last 40 years in prison. There is no question what the sentence for this crime ought to be, no question at all.
I wish Washington would bring back the death penalty.
what a failure of the courts to hold him accountable in the first crime. 5 year suspended sentence is repugnant.
Seriously! Using a gun and a knife, hateful language towards a stranger, threatening to kill, beating her, taping her wrists, etc.
Taping the wrists is very ominous... they should have used a bit of imagination, and not given HIM credit for the fact that SHE escaped.
I wonder how many times the police were called and didn't show up or do anything.
Epic failure on the courts !! Everyone that was involved in allowing him back into society to prey on innocent people ARE JUST AS GULITY AS HIM !!!
He got a 5 year suspended sentence after raping someone.
Epic failure of Liberals/Democrats, who enable this failure of the courts...
@@michaelmcdougall7367 Do you know what his profession was?
@@Zoleankico4267 Rapist
Men helping men. Women were not considered equal to men.
An eye for an eye, justice here was not served since he is still alive and costing taxpayers 80k/yr to house and feed him.
And he was with out handcuffs 😮
yeah😮
How was he free???????
White.
@@JoshyJosh BS.
"Democrat" judge.
@@JoshyJosh not the case. in fact its more likely a black man gets released in the modern day by far, thank people like yourself for voting democrat.
@@joevarga5982 It is BS. BUT IT doesn't it make untrue.
Thank you for never giving up on solving these cases. How could he get off so many times. This is outrageous he is a monster.
He should have never been let out.
He was still let out after all of that? Jeez thats embarrassing
Oh I just love it when a decades old case like this is solved. Imagine thinking you got away with it and then getting that knock on the door.
How many others has he done?
Bruh... Who kept letting this man go? Wtffff
Could? Should be life in prison!
Thank you all for your good work and dedication. You make a difference.
Bad people deserve to get caught.
Thank you for your service.
He thought he got away
He had 40 years to do more of the same things he did that they are accusing him of. So he was free living his best life up until recently
Chipper shredder
Fargo style!
While he is still alive. @@neilfrasersmith
The court system has blood on their hands and should be the ones going to jail with him.
I love that cold cases are being solved, primarily through DNA.
Yea and mostly the ⚪️s
@@jerrycostanza4180I'm confused. You mean white peoples cases or cases where the perpetuator is white?
And exonerations of the wrongfully convicted by bad police work. Sometimes both with the same DNA evidence.
@@theduplicator3270 Absolutely! The Innocence Project has helped exonerate many using DNA and other tools.
Death Sentance needs to be reinstated . Inslee did our State a humongous injustice 😢
The death penalty has been proven to never have affected the crime rate anywhere in the world at anytime in history. It is a huge waste of taxpayer's dollars because it is more expensive to prosecute such a case than it is to lock them up forever.
Hopefully he rots in jail.
To good for him!!!
Do you remember the guy who murdered three children and a woman while intoxicated? This happened in Renton Washington and his bail was set at 100 thousand dollars. Does makes sense to me when both should be held without bail. The system is all screwed up .
The obvious question is why on earth was he released.
Sounds like a few judges need to do a little doggie-paddling in my gator pond as well !
I think there's a lot of them are limited by the laws.
We need to change the laws that these people are not let out!
Hell, in his first attempt he wasn't even sent to jail!!
Life in prison 😮
Wow! Good snag, Detectives! 🤯
Thank scientists.
Thank you to all who solved the case ✝️🙏🕯️💜🕊️
No shackles or cuffs ?
He's white
@@CobraR1993 And in jail.
@@CobraR1993 and your black, maybe latino. and also WHO FUCKIN CARES
@@CobraR1993waycist
He's white.
Wow suspended sentence...disgusting!
Absolutely life without parole. Please.
Theyre getting them left and right withbthis forensic dna!
Why wasn’t he already in jail?
"Democrat" judge.
@@cattinkerbell4946 in was 1979 how do you know??? Maga are insane..
Justice caught up with him.
What 40 years later??? That POS lived his life. What about her family??
Obviously he will never change. Imagine what he got away with people don't know about
Our judicial system needs an enema, clean house, Judges and criminals
(is there a difference?)
Its scary to know this kind of violent offender is out free and unknown to the pubic. These convicted criminals should never be allowed to simply move and legally change thier names!!!😢
I love when these cold cases get solved, just goes to show that inevitably the truth will, indeed, always come to light.
it makes me sick how little the system protects women.
Why do you think that?
Women dont even get the kind of jail time men get
I thought you were saying this sarcastically, in this case.
@@301larussomusic since when women SA adult men and set them on fire??
The system isn't built to protect anyone.
Life in prison with no parole should have been the sentence for the first offense. Then there wouldn't have been other victims.
Thank you DNA! And dedicated detectives!
The judge who suspended his first sentence should be put away forever.
He only received a 5-year suspended sentence for attempted rape in 1979. I see this kind of thing so often in true crime cases from the past. A terrible pattern of not taking sexual assault seriously enough in our justice system.
Excellent police work
Good to see his lawyer had the right label for him on her jacket !
😂
Stop letting this guy out. What is WRONG with you? 😤
you gotta ask how many more bodies are out there
The court system failed all the victims! The history of crimes was horrible!
Should have never been let out of prison in the first place.
I can't imagine spending every day for 40 years "looking over your shoulder" for the cops.
That is exactly what I was going to say but you got it. After my twenty years in the US Army and two tours in Vietnam I became a police officer and got to see a few of these ass holes get caught and go to prison. Their families often would beg for them saying look how they have suffered with the grey hair and all.
How does someone with his history walk among us?!!!
Same thing happened in my hometown. In 1979 a girl was killed and no killer found. 40 years later, with DNA evidence, a man was convicted.
(Michelle Martinko, Cedar Rapids, IA)
This creep never should have been let out of jail in the first place.
2:20 look at the guys in the back ..lolol he is DONE 😂
Haha those were exactly my thoughts!
Everything comes back to you in due time. Nobody escapes their karma.
I just think it's absolutely insane that these people are let out after doing such horrible things
Allowing him to be released is a travesty from his priors alone. He needs to be put away forever and never get out.
The law was to soft. He should have been sorted out forty years ago
Justice !
GOTCHA!!!…. This guys an animal and thought he was Scott free😂😂😂😂
5 year suspended sentence for attempted rape and threatening to cut the victims throat. Holy shit
Never too late to serve justice.
Look at him acting all scared,hes DONE when he hits PRISON 🇺🇸
This kind of people should NEVER be set free! The same goes for other extreme crimes. We do NOT need these people in society. Jail for ever.
Screwed up forkin' system when attempted rape, assault with a gun, uttering threats gets a slap on the wrist, five years probation. That judge should be charged as an accessory to every crime he committed after that.
Crimes against women have always resulted in a slap on the wrist. No matter how heinous
Not before 1977 when the Supreme Court removed the d.p. Look up what happened to Carol Chessman.
Two woman missing in Northern AZ .
Life Without Parole!!
5 year suspended sentence for an attempted rape, probably murder and certainly violent battery….
A comical sentence for a violent sociopath.
My God, these poor victims. Please protect the public and don’t release him ever.
Usual suspects
Pond’s Cold Cream is a FIRE accelerant??? WOW!
Sick guy who needs to be in prison for life.
And with a woman defendant lawyer... Dam
She's on the public payroll. Basic American jurisprudence. It ensure all citizens have a right to a defense. And it hardly matters that she's female... at least to anyone in the 21st century.
Thank God for DNA
Sounds kinda wrong 😂

Dunning-Kruger valedictorian comment.
If similar commentators had been extant during polio and smallpox years, our current population would be miniscule.
Getting through 7th grade makes a huge difference in life.
How could any lawyer find anything to say to defend him
Always a supreme feeling when a cold case is solved.
Have the judges in America taken an oath to let loose criminals??? What is going on here?
This guy has done this before. Getting caught for an old murder is no big deal to him.
Every time I hear someone say capital punishment is wrong I remember people like this exist. It's not just bad judges, the laws need to be changed and pathetic soft on crime policies need to be removed. How are people like this ever allowed to continue on.
Thanks, Jennifer.
5 years & suspended for assault of a stranger & attempted rape, & 2nd offense caught, two girls at a time, assaulted & raped, & only got 11 years? I hope the girl's family sues, for wrongful death, to whomever paroled that freak.
Thank you
How that (presumably) public defender stays on her job and stays professional is incredible
Sick man.
I wonder if defense lawyers have to shower two or three times when they get home to get the stench of evil off of themselves.
The lack of a justice system made it easy for this guy, we know of a few of his actual attacks and now they will still fail to do the right thing.
