Steve Huff

Any one the sticks around here long enough will know that I am a very big fan of Steve Huff's Darkside. His talent is overwhelming. I first starting reading his blog while writing on Joseph Duncan. He's always informative, and his investigative work is to be praised. One couldn't help but become a fan of his writing.

So it pleases me to be able to congratulate him on a recent development in his writing. His on going coverage of Ben Fawley, and the missing 17 year old Taylor Behl has given way to a new writing gig- with Court TV's crimelibrary.com.

Steve tells it best:

"...A few nights ago I received what was to me an astonishing invitation. Marilyn Bardsley, crime writer, executive editor, founder of Court TV's crimelibrary.com, invited me to contribute new content to the article she has begun there about the Disappearance of Taylor Behl. You can now see my author bio here, and my first chapter here -- Jailbait Spelled Backwards. If you are a regular reader of this blog, much of what I have contributed to the Crime Library will seem familiar, as much of the content that caught Marilyn's interest was in blog entries about the Behl case. I contributed my second chapter tonight, incorporating the news of Ben Fawley's arrest..."

Congrats Steve!

Guided by practical experience and not theory, especially in medicine Kennedy hate crimes rider may doom Hatch's sex offender bill By Robert Gehrke The Salt Lake Tribune WASHINGTON - A fight over federal hate crimes legislation could torpedo Sen. Orrin Hatch's push to strengthen the nation's sex-offender registries and clamp down on sex crimes. The Senate Judiciary Committee gave quick, unanimous approval to Hatch's bill Thursday, clearing its way for consideration by the full Senate. But Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass., said he plans to try to attach language to a bill that would require tougher sentences, provide federal assistance and offer grants to prosecute hate crimes - those motivated by hatred for a race, religion, gender or sexual orientation.

Florida Sex Offender Registry

Reading the news today, I was taken back to see that the Florida Sex Offender registry was being criticized. Having had the chance to look at it previously, I had always found it rather informative, and well organized. The issue that many are having with it now wouldn't be noticed by the occasional browser on the site. Which makes it even worse. A review of the FSR has found some rather unsettling statistics: The News-Press analyzed the Florida Department of Law Enforcement database of 36,306 sex offenders and found: • 9,205 of them are incarcerated • 7,037 have run away or can't be found • 824 have been deported; and • 516 are dead. Of the 15,573 sex offenders listed as released and not on parole or probation, only 11,355 of those actually live in Florida. Sex offender registries can only be usefully, and only fully do what they where designed to do when they are updated, maintained and monitored continuously. When you are relying on the SO registries to monitors how safe your...
