Bev, you breaking the law is not the way to go. To me it shows your more then able now to commit a crime on what you feel is right and not what the law requires. I'm not with these people being released, BUT it is the law and we all have to follow it. I may not like a law but I have to follow it. AND YOU HAVE TO DO THE SAME, ITS THE LAW SO BUCKLE UP AND DEAL WITH IT.

"The Department of Correction is attempting to notify victims of these crimes. Victims who have not been contacted are asked to call the DOC Office of Victim Services at 1-866-719-0108."

We are ALL victims of this crime the state is about to commit. I suggest we all call DOC at 866-719-0108 and request that they keep us informed on a daily basis of where these murderers and rapists are living, working and committing more felonies. They retroactively applied a law to reduce the sentences, so why can't the legislature retroactively unapply the reduction and keep them in for LIFE? Well, I have my CCW so if any come by to visit me consider it Time Served!

you put them in your spare bedroom and feed them. I wonder if your tune will change then? chayer

Don't have a spare romm, but the prisoners that are released will be OK. They are going to be released regardless what you think. Except that fact and move on. Nothing you say or do will change it. Bother them and you will be in prison. lol lol

That the defense lawyer used the wording or lack there of as a "Loophole" to release these criminals. LambeauSouth

It is a Loophole as defined by Webster's if you use the "Wording of the law to bypass said law, Fact is the Fair Sentencing Law 1981 was established to reduce prison population intended for the lesser non-violent crimes. The fact that they did not spell out that the exclusions to this law would be in the case of Murder , Rape or any other deemed heinois crime. That the defense lawyer used the wording or lack there of as a "Loophole" to release these criminals.

Hmmm...to all of you who think these darlins' should go free, even after continued violent behavior while incarcerated, you put them in your spare bedroom and feed them. I wonder if your tune will change then?
just concerned

Not really a loophole that some wants to call it. NC leaders made the law and now certain prisoners will be released Oct. 29. They are now reaping what they sow. To think at the time they all thought it was right and a good thing. How wrong they were. Hopefully the NC leaders will learn from this and never make this kind of mistake ever again.

BRAVO Professor!!! I think this may be the first time you've posted something that I actually agree with!!! ;-)

People that are charged with rape and murder (whether correctly or incorrectly)usually go through this little process call a trial by jury... cj1979

And sometimes the jury gets it wrong....
