Why are teese people getting "Furloughs" ?? If you do the crime, you do the time. If these people are dumb enough to let them out, I don't blame the felons for not coming back! After all that's what they do, lie cheat steal ect.
We need to get some judges that are smarter then the convicts!!!
They are really stupid when they let known gang members out!
GO MN NICE!!!!!!!!!!

A 6 time felon gets a furlough? Maybe I am off here but dying family member or not he is a danger to society and Judge Nord needs to look at public safety before the feelings of a 6 time felon-let me say it again, A 6 TIME FELON. The people of Hennepin County can do something about this, DONT VOTE FOR THIS CLOWN NEXT ELECTION! Judge Nord has made several questionable calls throughout the years, and its time to ask for some accountability. If I were to make this kind of decision in my job I would be called on the carpet by my boss, hopefully the same is done here!

MN. has a supposedly 3 strike law for sex offenders. What most people don't know is that if the county of commitment refuses to pay or cannot afford to pay the famous MSOP $350 a day, they don't get committed.(It looks good on paper though)

furlough? Whoever "verified" this nonsense should be held accountable and docked some pay so taxpayers don't have to pay for this error. Aggregious stuff here.

What a loser...as if 6 felonies isn't enough..he lies about his own mother dying? I don't even know why I am surprised, he obviously cares nothing about life, why should he care about his mother? I think the girlfriend should be brought up on some conspiracy charges as well.

What is a six time felon doing out of jail in the first place? When do we have the sense to lock em up and throw away the key?

Are the ones that helped in this ruse being charged?

the fact that he lied about his mama bein on his death bed is shocking, but not so shocking once you see he's a 6 time felon. my daughters dad couldn't get a furlough when his first daughter was killed, and he was in on a first offense. the judicial system here in MN is in need of some serious repair

Well, there you go.
I am so sick and tired of all the racist comments. Statistically, there are more non-white people committing crimes than people of color. The news media just chooses to show more negatitive news on minorities.
