Suzio: "Another Spectacular Early Release Failure"


A MEDIA RELEASE FROM LEN SUZIO


Indicted Criminal Accomplice in Sensational Aaron Hernandez Murder Trial was Early Release Convict
Calls on Governor to fire Undersecretary Lawlor

Date: July 7, 2014

For Immediate Release:
Contact: Len Suzio (203)-530-1544


Former State Senator Len Suzio, Connecticut's leading critic of the Early Release program, revealed that Carlos Ortiz, indicted for murder in connection with the trial of former NFL superstar Aaron Hernandez, was let out prematurely under the early release program.  Hernandez is charged in the murder of Odin L. Lloyd. “This is yet another example of the spectacular failure of Undersecretary Mike Lawlor's Early Release Program”, said Suzio.



"Once again we are confronted with more dramatic evidence of the utter failure of Mike Lawlor's Early Release Program”, Suzio stated. Carlos Ortiz was indicted for the murder of Odin L. Lloyd, joining NFL star Aaron Hernandez as a defendant in the "execution style" murder of Mr. Lloyd.  Ortiz received Early Release credits accelerating his release from a Connecticut prison. “This violent criminal joins a growing list of Early Release graduates who were let go early and not rehabilitated by Mr. Lawlor's spectacularly and tragically failed program," said Suzio.

"Murder, rape, robberies, assaults and other violent crimes are being committed by unreformed, and unrepentant criminals let loose under Mike Lawlor's Early Release Law. How many murders does Governor Malloy need to be told about before he does the right thing and fires Undersecretary Lawlor, the architect of this dangerous program who continues to cover up its glaring failure?" Suzio asked.

"I will continue to use my position on the Victim Advocate Advisory Committee to challenge Undersecretary Lawlor who continues to cover up this wrong-headed and dangerous policy," concluded Suzio.

Len Suzio is a member of the Victim Advocate Advisory Committee.

The Blumenthal Burisma Connection

Steve Hilton , a Fox News commentator who over the weekend had connected some Burisma corruption dots, had this to say about Connecticut U.S. Senator Dick Blumenthal’s association with the tangled knot of corruption in Ukraine: “We cross-referenced the Senate co-sponsors of Ed Markey's Ukraine gas bill with the list of Democrats whom Burisma lobbyist, David Leiter, routinely gave money to and found another one -- one of the most sanctimonious of them all, actually -- Sen. Richard Blumenthal."

PCBs, GOOD FOR YOUR HEALTH

By Gerald and Natalie Sirkin c2007 A front-page story on PCBs in the March 9 News-Times is just wrong. The first thing to know about PCBs is that they never killed a single person nor did they ever cause cancer. The second is that although they are invariably called “cancer-causing,” that designation comes chiefly from a single rat study. The third thing is that the subject rats were exposed daily for 21 months to 100 parts per million (ppm) of PCBs containing 60% chlorine. (The 100 ppm was about 5,000 times the tolerable daily intake of PCBs set by FDA in 1973.) When rats were exposed to PCBs containing less chlorine, they developed no cancers. The fourth, that when the exposed rats were allowed to live out their lives, they had fewer cancers and lived longer than the unexposed rats. PCBs is a family of chemicals known as polychlorinated biphenyls. PCBs contain chlorine ranging from 12% to 70%. They were used in two General Electric plants that manufactured electrical equipmen...

Taking The Fifth, After Esty

Whether or not U.S. Representative Elizabeth Esty will serve the remainder of her term or resign immediately is very much an open question. But, in any case, the battle for Connecticut’s 5 th U.S. Congressional District has begun with a show of unexpected fireworks. For many years, the 5 th District was a toss-up proposition; both Republicans and Democrats have held and surrendered the seat. Geographically the 5 th District touches the border of New York from Connecticut’s northern-most point to Danbury in the southern quadrant and includes much of Litchfield county and parts of Fairfield, Hartford and New Haven counties. Party affiliation is competitive, in round figures, 30 percent Democrat, 25 percent Republican and 45 percent unaffiliated. Over the years, the Democrat Party in Connecticut has moved from the center to the left, but the 5 th District has been a moderate preserve. During the Obama presidential election, Republican moderates within Connecticut's U.S. ...
