Suzio: "Early Release" Criminal charged with Murder of Infant

Arrested suspect charged with murder of 1 year old girl received "risk reduction credits"
"Risk reduction credits don't work and don't correlate with reduced risk" - Len Suzio


Date: August 22, 2014


 Former State Senator Len Suzio, Connecticut's leading critic of the Early Release program, revealed that Arthur Hapgood, arrested for the murder of a 1 year old infant in Bristol this week, was a graduate of  Connecticut's controversial "early release" program.  Hapgood, who had an extensive criminal history, received 233 days of "risk reduction credits" allowing him to leave prison almost 8 months early.

"Once again we are confronted with more dramatic evidence of the utter failure of Mike Lawlor's Early Release Program”, Suzio stated. “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.

"The Early Release Program is suppose to reduce risk of criminal behavior, but experience shows the program has had little or no impact on the criminal behavior of convicts who have participated in the program. Far from reducing the risk of crime to the community the program accelerates the exposure of the community to violent criminals. Murder, rape, robberies, assaults and other violent crimes continue to be committed by unreformed, and unrepentant criminals let loose under Mike Lawlor's Early Release Law," Suzio stated.

"For more than 2 years I have publicly exposed crimes committed by criminals who benefited from this dangerous law and I will continue to do so until the Legislature repeals the early release of violent criminals", concluded Suzio.

Len Suzio is a former state senator and is a candidate for the 13th State Senate District that includes Meriden, Middlefield, Cheshire and Middletown.

Donna

I am writing this for members of my family, and for others who may be interested.   My twin sister Donna died a few hours ago of stage three lung cancer. The end came quickly and somewhat unexpectedly.   She was preceded in death by Lisa Pesci, my brother’s daughter, a woman of great courage who died still full of years, and my sister’s husband Craig Tobey Senior, who left her at a young age with a great gift: her accomplished son, Craig Tobey Jr.   My sister was a woman of great strength, persistence and humor. To the end, she loved life and those who loved her.   Her son Craig, a mere sapling when his father died, has grown up strong and straight. There is no crookedness in him. Thanks to Donna’s persistence and his own native talents, he graduated from Yale, taught school in Japan, there married Miyuki, a blessing from God. They moved to California – when that state, I may add, was yet full of opportunity – and both began to carve a living for them...

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."

The Murphy Thingy

It’s the New York Post , and so there are pictures. One shows Connecticut Senator Chris Murphy canoodling with “Courier Newsroom publisher Tara McGowan, 39, last Monday by the bar at the Red Hen, located just one mile north of Capitol Hill.”   The canoodle occurred one day or night prior to Murphy’s well-advertised absence from President Donald Trump’s recent Joint Address to Congress.   Murphy has said attendance at what was essentially a “campaign rally” involving the whole U.S. Congress – though Democrat congresspersons signaled their displeasure at the event by stonily sitting on their hands during the applause lines – was inconsistent with his dignity as a significant part of the permanent opposition to Trump.   Reaching for his moral Glock Murphy recently told the Hartford Courant that Democrat Party opposition to President Donald Trump should be unrelenting and unforgiving: “I think people won’t trust you if you run a campaign saying that if Donald Trump is ...
