On Staskal move raises concern

I can site legal websites also - not too hard. I can also research and site numerous cases where mental patients cannot function outside of their sheltered environment. This is especially true when one has spent as much time "in their own little world" as Mark has. The Judge has discretion if he believes the murderer is a danger to the community. Mark did not adjust to time away from Mendota in the past and has not shown remorse. He is a time bomb. The press should also report that a prominent top 50 doctor wanted to treat him right here in Rock County. Do you think that appropriate for friends and family.

Perhaps its because Judge Byron is retiring in August that he made such frightening ruling. He won't be on the bench or the area when the madness starts.

I cannot call in sick to protest unfairness, I haven't had a raise since 2005, I've had to pick up more of the cost of my insurance, I only get a 3 week vacation a year, I have worked for the same company for 18 years, we have not had a contract in 3.
Stop the insanity teaches. Poor you.
Signs indicating you should get "credit" for our children's education are ridiculous - That is what you signed on for - I don't get credit for the product/services I render - it is my JOB. Not every productive member of society gets a "thank you" or the pay they think they should make.

There is no rehabilitation for someone who has NEVER said he was sorry. He is pure evil and will make the national news when he kills again.

1776again - go back to 1776 because you are so off base here in this century. I too lived in the "neighborhood" - four houses away. I started kindergarten with Marcy, was in Brownies & girl scouts with her, stayed overnight at her house as she did at mine. Summer vacations were a neighborhood playground - we did not spend time with her brother or mine. (how uncool) It was NOT the neighbor kids who picked on him - I can only think of one family in the "neighborhood" who had delinquent boys who weren't so nice to any of us. It was the kids at school - the ones who taunted him, threw him in lockers for the entire day and worse that should have the finger pointed at. Most of them still live in the area and unfortunately don't own up to the fact that THEY may have been the straw that broke the back.
That said, Mark was mentally unstable from as far back as I can remember - his mother took him to counseling before counseling was the norm - it did not help - He was not stable then, and spending the past 22 years in a structured environment is not going to help make him be a productive member of society. He is a danger and waste of space. He doesn't know how to live without specific routine and medication. Who wants to be around when he "forgets" to take his meds because he doesn't "feel" he needs them any longer. Will it be someone who reminds him of a one of the boys from school who picked on him, will it be a young girl that looks like Marcy - any way you look at it, someone will eventually get hurt or killed - do the math. He should not be released - Perhaps Judge Byron needs to spend a little quality time at Mendota so see how great rehabilitation for emotionless killers who don't own up to what they did or feel it was at a minimum wrong are cured. Why are we tormenting his parents in their senior years with the fear that their son will hurt someone again? Let the family rest, let Marcy's friends heal let the guys from school make peace with themselves, the community and GOD. Finally, let Mark remain in his safe little place. The angel guarding the gates of heaven can decide if Mark should be allowed through the Pearly Gate or sent back to Mendota for eternity.
