Malfeasance

KlaasKids will be taking Attorney General Jerry Brown to task at the Governor’s debate this evening for turning a blind eye to the illegal prison release of tens of thousands of potential sexually violent predators.

In 2006, Californian’s voted to pass Proposition 83, otherwise known as Jessica’s Law. Among other things Jessica’s Law mandates that, prior to release from prison, violent sex offenders who meet certain offense criteria be evaluated in person by two expert psychiatrists or psychologists. If the experts agree that the prisoner is a violent sexual predator with a high risk of reoffending the prisoner must be referred to the District Attorney for civil commitment proceedings.

Currently, California’s Department of Mental Health (DMH) Sex Offender Commitment Program managers are simply providing a cursory ‘paper screening’ or record review of potential predators by one mental health professional in lieu of an expert panel in-person evaluation. This violation of California law has thus far dumped more than 17,000 potential sexual predators back into society.
In 2007, convicted rapist Gilton Pitri was released as a result of a ‘paper screening’ and within 4 days kidnapped, raped, and murdered 15-year old Alyssa Gomez.  Petri is currently awaiting trial for Alyssa’s murder.

Are you as outraged as I am that California’s DMH is ignoring the law at the expense of public safety? If so, make your voice heard at the ballot box.

I’ll be endorsing Meg Whitman for Governor of California this evening at the candidate’s debate, as I take Attorney General Jerry Brown to task for turning a blind eye to the illegal prison release of tens of thousands of potential sexually violent predators.
