The guy is a habitual offender, and habitual parole violater, such people should be behind bars permanently.

On another note-- if a doctor messes up and someone dies because of it they can be sued, lose their licenses, and sometimes even jailed for it. IMO judges who don't do what they are supposed to and the result is someone getting killed, should be personally liable for their mistakes.

But despite his many brushes with the law, Joseph P. Smith never spent long behind bars.
 
If we'd only shown MORE compassion towards Mr. Smith, or Joey as I call him, none of this would have ever happened.  Somehow, society is to blame.

Sarasota Circuit Judge Harry Rapkin, the latest judge to have handled Smith's case, said Friday he was not at fault for not putting Smith in jail when the unemployed mechanic failed to pay court costs and fines in December.

This man Smith was part owner in an auto mechanic's shop. The man who recognized him in the video and called the cops is his BUSINESS partner. They opened the shop last year. Unemployed my a$$. He was self employed. It's easy to lie about your employment when you are self employed. It's harder for those wishing to verify your income to do so. My hunch is that he lied because he wanted the money for drugs.

He is no longer accused. He is GUILTY as charged and I predict he will be sentenced to death. Rightly so.
