Shortly after I moved to California in 1978, a man there raped a girl of age 14 and then attempted to kill her by cutting off her arms. She ran away, trying to hold her arms up to “keep the muscles from falling out” – one tough little girl. They saved her life at the hospital and fitted her with two artificial arms; Lindsey Wagner later visited her when she had heard the girl had remarked that she was going to be like The Bionic Woman.

They caught the rapist, put him in jail and let him out in 1993, the year I moved to Florida. He also moved to Florida then, among some degree of outrage from the the people here. And shortly thereafter he raped and killed a woman and then committed suicide.

So I guess scum like that will go on to serve sentences only for rape when they are not good enough at killing little girls.
