“Our condolences go out to the loved ones of the victim for their loss,” said Colonel James M. Manni, Superintendent of the Rhode Island State Police and Director of the Department of Public Safety. “The investigating Troopers worked very hard to quickly apprehend the suspect and we are working with the Attorney General’s office to ensure that justice is served.”

How did this man get away with all of his previous charges? Of course, he was escaped serious prosecution before so why not try something again. This is a perfect example of the failure of the system. He should be charged with premeditated murder and kept behind bars for the rest of his life.
