Supervision in this state doesn't mean someone is with her 24/7...

Exactly! Hear about the case where the ten bodies were found. The officials were only allowed to go to his door. They would have to have a warrant to "enter" the home. I believe these laws need to be change for the safety of the public people.

Right about now, I know there are some unhappy criminals. So now its a wait and see what is going to really happen.

I am still wondering how all of this is going to turn out. No its does not make sense to allow these dangerouse criminals out, when the courts continually to put dangerous criminals behind bars. Am I confused or what? Maybe the Supreme courts along with the Gov. Purdue will solve this soon.

Governor, you don't know what Sally Holloman is doing, she could easily be poisoning people all over the country! Supervision in this state doesn't mean someone is with her 24/7... In this state, she comes to an office tells some person setting behind a desk that she is obey the laws. then she leaves and goes about her business of killing more people...after working all day at that good job with good pay you helped her get.... How concerned have you been with her victims families. Have you help them get good jobs with good pay? I bet you don't know one thing about how they are doing? Now you expect me to believe you're concerned about me! Arrogance and no common sense! Why didn't you just stay out of this. Why did you run for office? Did you really think no one was going to look closely at you? Easley NCSU, campaign finance, murder working in the capital. What were you think? Oh, forget I asked!

"...and good behavior..."

Murder is the ultimate "bad" behavior. Not to be flippant, but these "people" should be released only with the verbal permission of their dead victims. No permissions...no release.

I'm taking bets that bev WONT be gov next time.

She is a loon. How in the world could she have hired a convicted felon anyway? Yes, they need jobs but you murder to people why are you still breathing? Just another example of a system that is too lax on punishment - why didn't she get the dealth penalty. Beverly is an embarrassment and the state of NC is not too far behind. Last night elections did show us a glimmer of hope...Bad Beverly...very bad!

Ugghhh, The laws need to be changed. Maybe they should re-examine shortening sentancing based on good behaviour. It sounds humane - but what about the crime? Should'nt 'good behaviour' just award them w/ certain ammenties in prison? Does early release apply to 'blue collar' crimes?

I hope those who voted for her are pleased with their decision. I didn't, and wouldn't.

There's a chance this woman may poison you, shoot you, or set you on fire, but she types 75 words a minute and is a wiz on the fax machine.
