Les Gosule on Melissa's Bill

It was thirteen years ago today. That and murdered. Thirteen years ago today. And Melissa. We hope. Her herb I think -- At the -- -- guy they'd never had any business being out of prison at all. Hope that. Heard death can actually means something. But it certainly doesn't appear that well is we've all heard about Melissa's law and -- Would take the big -- felons three times throughout. Low lights rapists killers. Like -- an -- Who was serving three life sentences I mean only Massachusetts even this sentence even possible serving three life sentences. But he is released. By Parole Board into a self Boston halfway house where he is plotting. Jewelry -- like the one that took place a day after Christmas at the Kohl's department store in Woburn. And Dominique -- -- Shot and killed. A cop who is just a few weeks away from a time and Jack -- Terrible. Absolutely positively terrible. In -- everybody with open arms like how could this happen. -- we've -- now he was serving three life sentences what happened every single solitary day. If the Procter and man. A rocket man. Who never should have been out. He's a convicted murder a child rapists he's the poster child for the three strikes bill which is right now continuing problem anguish. On Beacon -- This all life. You cannot believe he raped a woman Tito would impressionist sell phony program belongs and he is going to be. Held on dangerousness hearing this week in Brockton -- Our recent arrest for rape. Frank -- Benjamin in Brockton this most recent arrest came less than six months after his release from state prison. He got out -- -- -- you serve fifteen years from multiple counts of rape of a child. Multiple counts. A rape against younger -- Foxborough while he was out on parole. For second degree murder. So this I record it in 1974. He stabbed his wife to death in an -- 1974. He serves a lousy fifteen years for that gruesome murder. And then he gets out. He gets out he commits. Horrific rapes against a little girl in Foxborough. Numerous numerous times he know did yeah and any -- raped another woman allegedly. His disgusting. Yeah this guy should never see the light of day again. Never see the light of day again in -- -- Who is the dad of Melissa -- she was 27 years old are pretty schoolteacher. She was formally -- Randolph. Her killer Michael genteel of Halifax had a record of 22. Arrests he was out on parole when he kidnapped got. She's the key is serving a life sentence for first degree murder without the possibility of parole -- that -- again. Yeah yeah it continues to happen is disgusting. But the legislature finally had a chance to do something about it -- -- the senator from -- on the show talking about it I told you this is gonna happen. We would not get caught up in EBT in the closing of -- state hospital in illegals trying to around registering vehicles. While here illegally without a license we got caught up and we could get. The crime bill. Well. Lonnie could on Beacon Hill now have eleven gates that -- Eleven days the -- at this three strikes -- build that it's just do. They have a these Big Three and stand pretty -- should read comics you know only one hit the streets again. And it's all nonsense. It's contacts. Because all this is as an elimination of any parole eligibility. For BP violent felons. Now Matt RP is a great reporter for the Statehouse news service he describes. A press constitute puts it like this. -- -- Whose daughter Melissa was raped and murdered in 1999. By habitual -- pleaded pleaded today. With house and senate lawmakers to pass a parole reform bill. That would keep guys like his daughter's murderer off the streets I'm asking I'm beating pat Murphy writes. -- had tears Welling in his eyes today is at thirteenth anniversary of Melissa's death. Well let's -- we have so grateful that you could join us. We know the you're at the Statehouse earlier today and tell me why you have so many concerns about whether -- he daughter's name. Could actually represents and real necessary change in Massachusetts. We. Result thank you are not allowed me -- -- -- tells the story and that people can listen to it. As you noted tomorrow at 1213 years and the real issue is. What is the role government and I would advocate the government's primary erode public safety. And we have to -- people. Who are allowed to be go to go to jail get a reduced sentencing get out on parole. And I think it's really clear the evidence is clear. That it will stop a rapists that they will we raped again and we don't stop the kill they will repeat again. So government has a responsibility clearly responsibility. To hold those people who are repeat offenders. That don't seem to want to respect somebody else's life or property. To hold them accountable. And hold them accountable saying that you don't have early parolees can I reduce sentencing I think did. We should do something to protect our daughters and wives ourselves. And then the good people call want to Massachusetts should be protected most people who seem to just one -- we thought. Anybody else's. Property or anybody else's rights. Well -- -- -- -- about just so people remember because. He now Melissa young daughter was only 27 years old. And she was living in great she was a school teacher she grew up in Randolph tell us about your daughter in the man who took her life. Melissa Melissa was born in 1970 should -- have been. A child lived in the sixties and by that I mean. You really care about money issue really here machine should dress sort of like she came from the sixties -- most people the -- talking about. She's hit of all people -- -- allotted time. Teaching English to as a second language in the to the community in Jamaica Plain. She was a ball -- walk for hunger issues of ball four. Rights for women she didn't work at did -- Angel organization bosses. -- ironically which is supposed to prevent domestic violence and they bailouts on their finding in the budget to write arrogance. So that's -- daughter was somebody who actually was -- what went with a call packing goodness into the stream of -- not taking from life. Right you know a funny story -- if I may -- socialism. There was a bike -- on his regular bike right I'm probably gonna pick up one day and in my brain Alexis. And it I picked revel in the back of the Karen. And she's looking and she says there how's -- -- -- it -- sort click any kind of break Espinoza. And could I was very proud of my grand Alexis and she should get give you don't get -- who's a body cannot that's a really interesting bike -- how does that work. Yes he does our patient care about anything she cared about people and you know unfortunately Michael genteel stops Melissa. Pastor 27 birthday from ever giving back to gain go to helping people in Jamaica Plain to do anything that she was doing for other women. And -- came to a grinding halt because of a man named Michael -- tell us about him. Well I -- twice seven convictions at the time. There's less. 117 conviction so that means -- 127 arrests. I had no it I don't know of the number arrests -- that they were 27 convictions or obviously the arrest of five -- 27. The last -- like -- And the guidelines sentence and at that time I was like five years the judge -- -- -- to serve two years of the five year sentence. If he says the five year sentence of my daughter be alive today. Fuzzy idea sank in the next about a home invasions -- nominees of people that were talking about so let us the state house now because. I am. Frightened I really am and I know that they are very good representatives -- a working hard honest you know. You have senator of course senator Barbara Starr -- been at our real proponent of it can't champion. Champion now we have a late Jim Dwyer Steve how way. Wretched bashing and shot out Colin James RC aero. -- I cake -- all steep -- tally. -- you -- -- no regret no of course you had a Brad Johns and we have Dennis Rosa. We have all these people that stood alongside its -- an OK let's get this done but what is the hold up I mean this is common sense everyone in the commonwealth doesn't wanna see. -- You know domestic terrorist because that's what they are like Dominique -- We don't wanna see this as rapists the guy who plunged -- 92 in Brockton killed his wife. While on parole he rates a little girl and Foxboro over and over and over again gets old and -- believe that and now he's charged with yet another rape that took place this summer it. Isn't amazing. What what we. I just glad to say that this is that we seem to live in the states it is believed sit a bit. Hippopotamus is comply. Who want to be in this world is and everybody who are politically correct you'll go to rehab people well you know what. There are some people that can't be rehab and by the third conviction should have lost your right to be rehab should be held accountable. This idea that no we rehab people we have people. Is you know my comment to say houses that we have so with -- convictions. And yet nobody gets raped even another hospital say this -- an -- I was Draper purely -- -- but look at the good as we try to rehab this guy. I mean is ludicrous this is ludicrous. That -- multiple offenses and the answer -- -- we're doing rehab the other thing is is that depresses did not do. But the prices helped him mislabeling is billed as bill is that this will spend a bill this built it was a bill is still says if you -- a good violent offense you will mock. Be subject to early parole that it has built about also the guideline sentences ten -- ten years no early Perot. And -- knew what the problem. A lot of it doesn't run with it but if you would read what I updated it later in something like the globe. The global citizen name of the -- is three strikes bill it's not -- -- not California. So you've got the. About low level -- -- as we're talking about rapists and killers like this this Brockton who is so badly. And she has broken bones in her face. And this is the cans of Brockton convicted child rapists who just at a prison six months ago did she gives a rat's ass. About the the pot dealer now she let me know within our hospital saint. Why is over because some old boy now but that was a good idea to meet a guy who is wife -- -- -- -- little girl. A month to month get out again and now my life is over that woman cared about that just like you care about god as married. And listen you know simplistic guy that peace is not just I agree that might die every year we place approximately fifteen years as victims of homicide Massachusetts. We have how many rapes a year how many attempted murder -- this is far greater than -- them acquire caught. It was a colossal my daughter would -- about the -- The fact that innocent people good people McAuliffe the -- -- should be protected from those crimes that are repeat offenders. He has so crime we should give -- -- crime that keeps coming active and keeps coming answer. And and those who -- to be held accountable wrestler and government seems to be listings responsibility. And accountability. We can't seem to have that. We don't seem to want abdicate responsibility accountability. Change shame that we should have to do that. Next she she -- exactly what I'm gonna stand alongside you in eleven days that they don't pass this crime bill because rim mascots -- the patio. That on July 31 at these bozos don't get this done at the Statehouse. I hope everyone within earshot would stand with you when I in the steps of the Statehouse in demand net heads. I -- I would. I you know something I would I will I hope the bill gets passed obviously. But I would. -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- And they tell me it will happen twelve years they -- -- that you made it. They -- their -- and talk about what happens. But does it does there if there is again -- to size. The Grand Canyon between the words and the actions we think you're right glasses no problem. Just don't get it done. Public safety is really important we can do it all the -- -- by the way. Is that. Well Leo we are having. Where where where where we're having situation we're. Other people misquote the call of the masters came -- and affecting 1415 people he has the cost of this bill. It's not -- of millions of dollars hundreds of means of the. Exactly what about Patrick is saying when he is in opposition shockingly about tactics in opposition to this bill that less has been baking. Lawmakers sit. Undertake the twelve years but about tactics and opposition which means. All of the little -- that minions up there at the Statehouse last and I can go to this Emanuel and I going to be an and app elected. Apoplectic rage on July 31. Well actually it's more like July 22 because -- first because as you know it. Know that Patrick has ten days to veto a bill in the house in the reps. This -- has ten days to overturn that veto so an orderly they have this thing overturned. And have time to do it the governor is going to be in the governor's desk by the 21 which says -- going to be on the desperate twice it so by a week from Friday. This -- must be on the governor's desk to allow time for a veto would be overturned if -- -- -- necessary. Surely you standing in the Statehouse today tears Welling in your eyes I mean your accuser feel last -- -- daughter but it's also just. Basic frustration in fury I imagine that these same people that Shockey and he said had to go with you last wouldn't at a time looking at a time but then. And you that there it's certainly people who are trying to make that happen I don't want a peep hole lead. Are out there aren't there are people and -- -- -- -- -- with Deval Patrick and we both know. Well. We we do but. That the -- -- -- have a -- big -- for the man I like to see some changes in the bill I think -- don't have all the expenses and an official. So I think it would be group would you be grateful -- -- -- your daughter was killed thirteen years ago in the thirteen years. Thirty years ago today nothing nothing has happened cents nothing zero -- So would you would you be at least this -- slightly. The year your -- -- -- a little bit if they did some things. Yes absolutely. I would be I would be very happy if the bill is currently sitting. And the conference committee. Comes out and get past. It would I call the bill so -- like -- BB minus it is imperfect. But is that -- brought that up there what we have which is zero so I'll take a beer -- -- -- -- so was zero any day of the week. Especially in Massachusetts when it comes to criminals. Especially amassing her I think what do you don't look at mine and blow the minds of the readers -- listeners I don't -- things they don't wanna have -- habitual offender. Is the most crimes against a child under the age sixteen but why would it take. I. -- I don't know I think I am Brockton who just are charged with the -- six months after he served a sentence for -- -- and apparently kidnapped in and brutalize. Over and over and over I hadn't. I -- what what is the mindset of the people that we have polls and vote and office. I don't I don't get it in all the the only. I know resources that are Bruce how -- that want to put some of these things back into the bill. Maybe they will maybe they won't you know but. I I think it's time has come. The state is that just goes over twelve years because it was an original bill would soon governor salute she'd gotten in 2000. That Bob Bob Baptist singles. We went through three governors. Governor. Governor Dellucci ice yet and the -- as governor associate the year 2000. Mike Sullivan who do you it get kind of sort of county and myself and in -- solutions. People it has we've talked about the bill that man. There was a bill that -- and has been a -- of one form or another almost every year since he had 2000. And so when the opponent come on citizen scientists say the bill is like we. This is -- 2000 and do. And want to study the bill. How do you know about the bill that study has been dissected been amended it's been. To our product is good read address. The build it exists today is not stability system the government salute you twelve years ago so this bill had been refined. All we're all more refined over examined I think -- In the bottom client is way too many defense attorney has only one solution to this let's console that is every single solitary person and listening right now. If if you have any compassion at all what you hear from the man who lost his daughter at the end of it. BP convict if it any compassion for that poor woman in Brockton who just are wrapped by a convicted killer and child rapists. Who guard -- six months later raped somebody else. If you passion. The Jack McGuire and the -- the cops shot and killed or but the countless is less pointed out in the countless other crime victims like this caught you legislators and say. Enough is enough. How eagle that'd be a supporter that spell Orion gonna harass him every time I -- industry to be spot eager to silly but -- -- supporting this bill by states senator I am going to actually in -- in at Dunkin' Donuts right. Well the last time around the senator Gordon was built there six to nothing. And I -- more of this bill would only eleven people voting against it. So clearly on the house floor of the building -- the military -- or twice in a conference committee but they're all separate versions of the vote was clearly. Veto prove there was a tremendous. Outcry for the bill. So. You know so that's CL -- point that if they want the bill -- dosage in conference committee for seven months. The current Governor Deval Patrick says he wanted now instill us console -- the sentencing reforms. But this -- -- -- I as the texture pointed out that. They're built and nursing home prison last year for older inmates so they -- easier less stressful time in their weaning years. Well you know I. As -- think it is less stressful I wouldn't would you say the person who goes of the great -- -- decided -- You know I mean. We -- my question to government is what is your responsibility. When you're hot when you are. This one is an officer the -- -- the Massachusetts. Your fiduciary obligation. To do what. It seems to me that that the -- is to do the right thing. For the majority of the people who acquitted of Kabul the Massachusetts. That we -- primary responsibility should I should be reluctant streets are wondering. How many people were -- -- -- our our liberal that are gonna have a knife in him in the back pocket. And now I imagine that equation how many of criminally insane people who are released from the now -- soon to be -- -- hospital going to be -- -- adequate right. It's crazy let's also thank you the passion particular attack and make this promised you last at ease. Idiots don't it's something odd about Patrick's desk by next Friday I will be standing -- do as we make some noise it's. -- wouldn't you think -- so much support I've truly appreciated thank you. Thank you I don't want you six point 72666868672666060. When he knew all member. After the funeral of Jack McGuire a couple of years ago all week from us we us. This is gonna happen. Is let's don't you know. And now where eleven days away from deadline and nothing's dine it's Kenya. I'd love bankers are taking calls on this 6172666868. And we are going to hear from the NAACP. And their very warm reception for Mitt Romney I don't think it was -- Like it was Eric Holder yesterday on the job he -- America --
