Gagging Derek Kimball

I know, the title gives ya all sorts of ideas on how to deal with this monster.

Many of you will recall that Derek Kimball is the another child molester connected to the now famous Vermont case in which Judge Cashman sentenced a sexual predator to 60 days in jail (it has since been reversed and Mark Hulett is serving at least three years in prison).

Kimball is getting set for going to court in the case in which he is accused of molesting the vary same child as his friend Hulett was convicted of. Interestingly enough, Kimball doesn't seem to be looking forward to the media attention his case SHOULD be getting. So, in a swift legal move, his defense has requested a gag order on the case.

Derek Kimball, 33, of Hinesburg, is facing life in prison if convicted of three felony sex charges that he molested the girl. He has pleaded not guilty to the charges.
Kimball's attorney Margaret Jansch asked a judge to prevent anyone involved in the case, including attorneys, police and social workers, from making public comments.
Prosecutors are opposed to Jansch's motion. Vermont District Court Judge Michael Kupersmith said he would rule on the motion soon. Read Full Report

Thankfully, I am not involved in the case, so no matter how this case goes- I can loudly voice my thoughts on it : "I HOPE THIS MONSTER IS LOCKED UP FOR THE REST OF HIS LIFE" what he has done to this innocent child is unforgivable, and for that there must be a tough punishment. With the announcement of the first sentence of Hulett, many many where outraged that he got off with a slap on the wrist- in fact many still feel that even with the new sentence- it is too lax. Let's not allow the same thing to happen yet again.

From sources close to the case, information I received during the Hulett/ Cashman fury leads me to believe that although Hulett's abuse of this child lasted longer, Kimballs was much more violent, and threatening. This child and her family have been denied justice long enough. We must continue to demand it with the same force that we demanded Cashman to change his sentence.

It the judge in this case decides to agree to the gag order- we the public are left in the dark as to what is happening within the case. It is much easier to prevent another "Cashman type sentence" when we are armed with information. Let us not allow the system to fail this child once more.

He loves me, he loves me not, oh what the heck he loves me...

It seems to resemble a bit of a 3rd grade crush. Mag said first grade ... but it's really less annoying that having my ponytail pulled. He loves me... after all, he keeps linking to me . He loves me not... evidently that's why he uses my comments out of context and twists my words... he loves me, because clearly he likes to "poke the bear" (That 70's Show quote). Yes, I just referred to myself as a bear. A lot less hairy, but no less scary. Because anyone that thinks you should be locked up for the rest of your life is indeed scary. Especially when she likes to go around telling everyone how demented you are... and how she'd like to see you locked up forever. And even more scary when you know that it's the truth she speaks. And Lindsay, he is demented. And he should be locked up forever. And, well it seems that he is a fan of mine. Yep, that sick lil monkey can't help himself. He reads this here blog (which is a hint that you should share your thoughts...

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...
