David T. Davis

All she wanted was the very same thing thousands of people get every day- a divorce. It doesn't matter what the reason behind her desire was- the only thing that matters now is what his reaction to it was.

David T. Davis, AKA Terry Davis was unhappy about his wife's decision, so late one night in 1996- he broke into the home that they had shared, ripped the cross from around her neck, and then proceeded to terrorize her for four hours- raping her, threatening her life, and leaving her tormented by the memory of what he put her through.

Davis would later be found guilty, and sentenced to prison. For almost ten years, he sat behind bars- giving a feeling of safety to his former wife- that is until a Ohio Parole Board voted to free him.

The ex-wife, upon learning of about Davis' parole being granted demanded a full hearing- pleading her position that he was, and is a danger to society and that he belonged in jail even now.

The parole board, acting in what can only be considered STUPIDITY and without any concern to the public upon which Davis will be released- voted to uphold their original decision- granting Davis parole.

"I am just totally devastated and shocked that this is what they have decided," Grinstead said.

"I think Terry Davis has been severely punished for his crimes," said Barry Wilford, Davis' lawyer.

Wilford argued that the initial sentence was too harsh, and under current sentencing guidelines set in 1996, he would have served less time.

"If this offense had been committed after that date, he would have been prosecuted under the new law and the maximum sentence he could have received would have been 10 years," Wilford said.

Davis will be required to register as a sexually-oriented offender and report to a parole officer for the next two years.

He is scheduled to be released in May.


For those who live in Columbus- watch out. Lock your doors, and by all means, avoid this man like the plague, and as you fear that this monster will be calling the house next to yours home- remember to thank the Ohio Parole Board.

Once again, justice isn't being served. Every time we turn around another sex offender who shouldn't have the right to ever see the light of day, is released back into the public, despite the safety of the victims and the cummunity. It's appalling!
Pretty much every part of our so-called justice system needs to be seriously fixed. It's bad enough that people are forced to live in fear of violent criminals, and even worse that we also have to fear the system which is supposed to protect us.

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...
