Kara Borden, David Ludwig

There's one quote which tells us that "They were good kids and they were brought up very well. What I see is, they just made some bad choices," It's such an innocent sounding statement. As if these two had been simply been caught kissing under the old oak tree. But the more that comes out about Ludwig, the more deceptive he appears to be. Reports of a videoed plan to discussing shooting and killing a family inside a home during a chilling 18-minute film. A treatening comment of having to shoot someone if they discovered the illegal relationship between the young girl and the 18 year old man is also heard on the tape.
The two then arrived at an “unknown private residence” and talked in quiet voices about their plan to climb onto a roof and enter the home through a dormer window.

They also talked about “using their weapons to shoot and kill family members inside of the residence.”

After passing traffic “exposed the two and foiled their plan,” the affidavit said the two discussed their plans for the Borden home.

The search warrant details that police discovered a total of almost 400 other items “of evidentiary interest” stored on Ludwig’s laptop.

The story only seems to continue to spark the interest of people everywhere. As it should. Two teenage lovers, two unforeseen murders, two different personalities of David Ludwig.
Merrill Spahn, the public defender assigned to represent Ludwig has suggested that they will ask for a postponement of the preliminary hearing currently scheduled for Nov 23. Wanting to take the time in up coming days to determine what lead up to the tragic cold murders of Kara's parents, Michael and Cathryn Borden.
Kara has been returned to be cared for by family members, and is seen as a victim in this case, unless investigation proves otherwise.

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...
