LEGITIMATE GOVERNMENT INTEREST

DECEMBER 16, 2007

Courts across the United States have thus far upheld community notification laws of people convicted of sex crimes under the claim of a “legitimate governmental interest” in protecting the public. That means ALL members of the public.

What follows is just a sampling of a growing pandemic across the country of vigilantism against former offenders and their families.  It is becoming increasingly hard to ignore the fact that the general public cannot handle the registries as they were intended and they are not only being misused, but serve as a database for vigilantes  to threaten, intimidate, harass, and yes, even murder former registered sex offenders, and unfortunately their innocent family members as well.

The registry was not punishment for the these individuals, it was instead a public “hit list” for state sanctioned murder.   

 

 

September 2, 2007Helenwood, TN - Melissa Chandler is dead. She was killed in a fire that was intentionally set by two neighbors who after setting fire to the home, stood and watched it burn.

They missed their target - Melissa’s husband Timothy Chandler who was recently released from prison for downloading child pornography. Melissa is survived by her husband and son.   

 

 

12-1-2007 Texas:

DALLAS (CBS 11 News) -  A registered sex offender is dead after a shooting in a normally quiet Dallas neighborhood.
Neighbors tell us many of them knew Davion Crow was a sex offender. In 2005, he was put on probation after he was convicted of sexually assaulting an 18-year-old student at Cisco Junior College.

Police say Crow was killed by someone using at least two weapons. He was shot several times at the entrance to his house.  Megan's Law, which allows the names and addresses of convicted sex offenders to be listed on the Internet, is often criticized for its theoretical ability to facilitate vigilante violence.

The Los Angeles Times reports on a killing in Lake County, Calif., in which prosecutors are investigating the possibility that this very fear may have come true for the first time in the state.  Registered Sex Offender Murdered, Decapitated, and Burnedby Doug Guthrie (734) 462-2674 or dguthrie@detnews.com.   NORTHVILLE TOWNSHIP -- In announcing the arrests of two teenagers today, Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy said they stabbed Daniel G. Sorensen to death, sawed off his head and used a blow torch to burn his body simply for the thrill.

 Sorensen, 26, of River Rouge, was found dead Thursday at the end of a yet-to-be-developed subdivision cul-de-sac in Northville Township off Ridge Road just south of Maybury State Park. His severed head was found Saturday in a section of Hines Park located in Dearborn Heights.

Jean Pierre Orlewicz, 17, of Plymouth and Alexander James Letkemann, 18, of Westland, were arraigned via video today in Romulus District Court on charges of premeditated murder, felony murder and mutilation of a corpse. The homicide charges carry sentences of up to life. A preliminary exam is set for Nov. 19 at 35th District Court in Plymouth.  



"They lured him into a garage where a space had been prepared to kill him," Worth said.



Worthy said the pair stabbed Sorensen in the back multiple times, then sawed off his head. The garage had been prepared with a tarp on the floor and cleaning supplies standing by to clean up the blood. She called the killing "bone-chilling."



It is alleged the pair tried to conceal the identity of the victim by using a blow torch to burn his hands and feet. Gasoline was used to set the body on fire after it was dumped in the empty lot in Northville Township.   

 

 

8-30-2005 Washington:


BELLINGHAM — Last Friday night, a man claiming to be an FBI agent dropped in on three Level 3 sex offenders living together, supposedly to warn them of an Internet "hit list" targeting sex offenders.

The man was not an FBI agent, but he may have been enforcing a hit list of his own creation.

Two of the roommates were found dead early Saturday of gunshot wounds, and Bellingham police are investigating a crime that authorities say may be one of the nation's most serious cases of vigilantism aimed at sex offenders.

The killings also highlight a potential problem about Washington's 1990 law requiring sex offenders to register their addresses so the public can keep track of them.

  (04-16-2007) 21:18 PDT Augusta, Maine (AP) -- Two registered sex offenders were fatally shot in their central Maine homes early Sunday, and a Canadian man sought in connection with the slayings shot himself after Boston police cornered him on a bus, Maine authorities said. Stephen A. Marshall, 20, shot himself in the head with a .45 caliber handgun when officers stopped the bus he was on and climbed aboard, said David Procopio, spokesman for the Suffolk district attorney."Several second later the officers heard a gun shot," Procopio said.They found Marshall with a massive head wound in a window seat 13 rows behind the driver.

He was rushed to Boston Medical Center where he was in critical condition late Sunday night with severe brain damage, Procopio said. No one else on the bus was injured, Procopio said, but five passengers who were splattered with blood were taken to area hospitals to be examined. Maine State Police alerted Boston authorities that Marshall could be heading to the city, about 250 miles south, after Marshall's pickup truck was found abandoned.

Police discovered bullets linked to him in the bathroom at a bus station in Bangor, Maine. The shootings of Joseph L. Gray, 57, of Milo, and William Elliott, 24, of Corinth, led state police to take down the Maine Sex Offender Registry Web site as a precaution, state Department of Public Safety spokesman Stephen McCausland said. The site lists the photos, names and addresses of more than 2,200 sex offenders.

Marshall,( the alleged shooter) had logged onto the sex offender websitesite sometime before the two men were shot several times, McCausland said. While on the site, Marshall also sought information on 32 other sex offenders.
