You noted that there were 19 attempts to bring this criminal into custody so that the judicial process could begin. You also noted that he contacted the Sheriff's Department and arranged to turn himself in after his father's funeral. After 19 unsuccessful attempts, why on earth would the deputies have believed he really planned to turn himself in? Miss the appointment once...okay, maybe. Miss it twice...you're pushing your luck. Miss it 19 TIMES and you have proven your word is no good. Since he agreed to "turn himself in" - AGAIN - after the funeral, deputies had every right to anticipate that he would be at the funeral. HE put himself in that jackpot. He started us all down this road when he first engaged in activities that resulted in warrants for arrest. He further heightened his own plight by refusing to turn himself in on 19 ATTEMPTS. No one to blame but him for that. You noted that his bond was $5000 and you state that it is not enough. Hmmm...wonder what would have happened had he turned himself in at the first opportuniy? Even after committing crimes and following them up with numerous attempts to evade and delay the justice process, the Sheriff's Department showed restraint by agreeing to a low bond figure. You noted that the low bond amount would be little or no deterrent to prevent him from dodging and running away again. Can you really not see how that fact further justifies the actions of the deputies? You are correct when you say that something just smells about this one. However, you are dead wrong on your assertion of what smells. This man shows complete and utter lack of respect for our nation's justice system by committing crimes and then evading what he's got coming to him. Therefore, he does not deserve to be given the benefit of the doubt.
