Well, it seems like we have at least one judge in Texas who needs to be educated one what justice is. He released a man on shock probation after just five months of a ten year sentence.
The man helped his son and six others escape from prison, starting a crime spree where they killed Officer Aubrey Hawkins when he answered a burglary alarm.

Yeah big brother...you're right. I would like to know who paid this one to release the prisoner. That's what it sounds like, because no competent judge would allow a 10 year felony reduced to a 5 month sentence...especially since these thugs (in the process of their crime spree) killed a law enforcement officer who represents the law and upholds the peace. These thugs have no regard for the law or for public safety/peace...and that's been proven by what they did. And the one was released huh? I'll be damned...
Let's hope God does us all a favor and has a few rattlesnakes bite the prisoner. That doesn't send a very good message to the criminal population allowing a 10 year felony sentence to be served in five months.

RE: Texas Judge makes bad decision
I don't understand the whole story but from what I gather the man did this for his son. What would you do if the son you loved were in trouble?

RE: Texas Judge makes bad decision
Well, I would do my best to keep him from going bad. I would support him in jail and help him realize what he did wrong. I would help him go straight, finding a job when he got out. I would never help him break out of jail or go on a crime spree where he could kill a person.
