Governor; the people of Maryland want sex offenders sentenced to DEATH, not sent to the luxury of a nut house like your appointed Father-in-law so believes that an SO should be treated and I quote;
"O'Malley's father-in-law, has studied sex-offender reforms for years and favors civil commitments"
Look here for the definition of civil commitments, we the people will not stand for this type of grandstanding and your thinking we "regular people" will never understand your liberal ways. Wrong!
We also will not stand for any sex offender receiving "lifetime supervision" as you propose, we want the death penalty, period.
How are you going to supervise a SO while in their own home Governor? Don't you know that most SO victims are victims of someone that lives in the same house? Of course you do, you just do not care.
I could go on and on about this piece, but I'll refrain, for now. This is a slap in the face to all victims of an SO
Vote the liberal SO protecting Governor out come next election.
Gov. Martin O'Malley announced Monday the appointment of six members to the newly revived Sexual Offender Advisory Board, which had lain dormant since being established by law in 2006.
Last week, O'Malley tapped former Attorney General J. Joseph Curran Jr. as the board chairman. Curran, who is O'Malley's father-in-law, has studied sex-offender reforms for years and favors civil commitments for certain predators.
The appointees are Michele J. Hughes, director of a nonprofit domestic violence victim support center; Dr. Annette L. Hanson, a psychiatrist at Clifton T. Perkins Hospital Center; Karla N. Smith, a family violence prosecutor in Montgomery County; David Walsh-Little, a Baltimore public defender; Laura Estupian-Kane, a licensed psychologist who focuses on the assessment of adolescents who have committed sexual offenses; and J. Patricia Wilson Smoot, a deputy state's attorney in Prince George's County.
"I am confident that their combined knowledge, background and expertise, and their advocacy of our legislation to impose the strictest standards of supervision of sex offenders will help strengthen our efforts to ensure that Maryland's children are protected," O'Malley, a Democrat, said in a statement.
The board's main purpose, an O'Malley spokesman said recently, is to promote legislation that will refocus its own mission. The governor activated the board as some lawmakers questioned why it hadn't been meeting over the past four years and why it failed to produce a required report recommending sex-offender reforms.
O'Malley is seeking several sex-offense revisions this year, including required lifetime supervision for violent and repeat offenders. Lawmakers have focused on sex-offender reform this year in part because of the December abduction and killing of 11-year-old Sarah Foxwell on the Eastern Shore. A registered sex offender is a suspect in the crime.

I just love how O'Malley's jumping on the political band wagon of the day with all of this. This advisory board has "lain dormant" O'Malley's whole tenure as govenor. What was up with that, is the question he needs to be asked.

ReplyDeleteOKAY-What is that statement supposed to mean? It's nothing more than a bunch of words put together to make themselves appear effective. And of course the Baltimore Sun "jounalist" didn't have the allbays to ask for clarification.
Oh boy, does the O'Malley admin ever have the business of bull shit down.
I will admit, it is amazing to watch what the Sun lets the govenor away with though.
