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.

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."

Obamagod!

My guess is that Barack Obama is a bit too modest to consider himself a Christ figure , but artist will be artists. And over at “ To Wit ,” a blog run by professional blogger, journalist, radio commentator and ex-Hartford Courant religious writer Colin McEnroe, chocolateers will be chocolateers. Nice to have all this attention paid to Christ so near to Easter.

Did Chris Murphy Engage in Private Diplomacy?

Murphy after Zarif blowup -- Getty Images Connecticut U.S. Senator Chris Murphy, up for reelection this year, had “a secret meeting with Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif during the Munich Security Conference” in February 2020, according to a posting written by Mollie Hemingway , the Editor-in-Chief of The Federalist. Was Murphy commissioned by proper authorities to participate in the meeting, or was he freelancing? If the former, there is no problem. If the latter, Murphy was courting political disaster. “Such a meeting,” Hemingway wrote at the time, “would mean Murphy had done the type of secret coordination with foreign leaders to potentially undermine the U.S. government that he accused Trump officials of doing as they prepared for Trump’s administration. In February 2017, Murphy demanded investigations of National Security Advisor Mike Flynn because he had a phone call with his counterpart-to-be in Russia. “’Any effort to undermine our nation’s foreign policy – e
