The sex offender who approached a young college girl at a shopping center, abducted her and later killed her is now headed to trial, with the jury selection on the case being chosen after several weeks of proceedings.
Oh, wait. I'm suppose to say "The person accused", or "The sex offender who allegedly". But, sadly, I'm just a tad moody tonight, so screw it.
Let's look at it, break it down and call this case what it really is. Alfonso Rodriguez Jr. was a convicted sex offender. Dru Sjodin was a student, with a life filled with dreams ahead of her.
Had this pervert, this sorry excuse for a human been locked away from society where he should have been, Sjodin would more than likely still be with us today. She would have been able to get into her car that day, and drive away. The rest of us would never know of her existance, her life would have went on like it did ever other day before that.
Instead, this monster approached Sjordin in the parking lot...
A federal prosecutor told jurors in opening statements that Rodriguez stabbed Sjodin, slit her throat and left her to die in a ditch. The defense countered that the case should not even be in federal court.
All of this, because six months before hand a panel of idiots decided that DESPITE this monsters history, the rest of us didn't need protection from him enough to have him committed.
At least now, we have some hope that justice will be served, although- to be honest, it can never go back and undue the tragic death caused by "his right to not be committed".

(What I'm really thinking) The fucked up monster who should never have been able to see the light of day again, let alone be able to walk out side of a jail cell, who brutally and coldly abducted and murdered a completely innocent person for nothing more than the sick need to satisfy his own gruesome desire is getting ready for his case to come to court. May they quickly find him guilty and fry his ass as soon as possible. - Lilo

A federal prosecutor told jurors in opening statements that Rodriguez stabbed Sjodin, slit her throat and left her to die in a ditch. The defense countered that the case should not even be in federal court.
SOURCE_ Sjodin’s body was found in April 2004, in a ravine near Crookston, Minn., where Rodriguez, 53, was living with his mother.
In an indictment, prosecutors have said Rodriguez held Sjodin “for the purpose of sexually assaulting her.”
Sjodin died of suffocation, the wound to her neck, or possibly from exposure to the weather, said Assistant U.S. Attorney Keith Reisenauer. He said blood in Rodriguez’s car matched Sjodin’s DNA, and hair on her coat matched Rodriguez’s DNA.
All of this, because six months before hand a panel of idiots decided that DESPITE this monsters history, the rest of us didn't need protection from him enough to have him committed.
