MASS. KILLED MY GIRL (Victim's Father Rips Mass. 'Stupidity')
The Boston Herald ^ | 21 November 2007 | Michele McPhee and Jessica Van Sack

Posted on 11/21/2007 6:11:19 AM PST by Hemingway's Ghost

The father of a Washington woman slaughtered along with her new husband - allegedly at the hands of a convicted Bay State killer - said his daughter’s accused murderer never should have been released from prison here.

“It’s because of stupidity in Massachusetts that my daughter is dead,” said Darrel Slater, 55, who is preparing to bury his daughter, Beverly Mauck, 28, and her husband Brian Mauck, 30.

The couple was executed in their home in rural Graham, Wash., Saturday after an alleged argument with Daniel Tavares Jr., 41, who in 1991 pleaded guilty to hacking his mother to death with a carving knife in their Somerset home in served 16 years for that crime.

How many thousands of innocent people end up robbed, raped, maimed, killed because of lenience towards the bad guys?? The toll has been incalculable.

This is the flip side of the argument that innocent people will be mistakenly executed when the death penalty is legalized. While that may be true, the number of innocent people mistakenly executed will probably be much lower than the number of innocent people murdered by convicted murderers who are not executed.

Yeah, Fred’s shepharding of Justice Roberts through confirmation in the Senate was a disaster.

Sounds like a plan to me...

But sounds like we are conservatives, so I doubt Romney would be interested...

How much money is it going to take for Romney to buy his way out of this one?

This guy should have been executed for murdering his mother

Maybe the libs just thought it was protected as "privacy" because it was just reverse abortion.

I believe the number of innocent guys executed would be practically nil, in part because there are so few executions anyway. Plus most executions only happen after years of constant appeals, re-trials, and examining of evidence. The scumbags have so many advocates groups working to keep them off death row. If there were as much work going on to keep them behind bars then I think fewer people in society would be victimized.

I see no indication that a Governor Fred Thompson of Mass. would have picked a different person to be a judge. We can’t know of course since Fred has never appointed a conservative judge, OR a liberal judge, though he DID vote for some pretty liberal Clinton appointees while he was in the senate. I wouldn’t hold Fred accountable for the liberals he voted yes on, although by the logic here I guess I should.
Yeah, Fred’s shepharding of Justice Roberts through confirmation in the Senate was a disaster.

Chief Justice John Roberts has nothing to do with what CharlesWayneCT stated, which was that when Thompson was a SENATOR, he voted in favor of more than a few liberal Clinton appointees.

And I might add, that during the time Thompson was serving in the Senate as a Senator (and not as a shephard, lol) he saw nothing wrong with cutting Bill Clinton some slack by throwing procedural roadblocks into the way when it came to supporting the House impeachment managers in '98. Nobody calling themselves a conservative should have been cutting Clinton slack for ANYTHING.

Thanks for the ping. Just to make it clear, MY position is that I don’t fault Fred Thompson for those votes, or hold him responsible for anything those judges did (I would if there was specific evidence that was presented to the senators of something wrong with the judge that they ignored in voting for them).

Fred did a good job with Roberts, but that really wasn’t about picking a judge, it was about working the Senate. On the other hand, Alito made it through without Fred’s help, so it’s not like Fred is personally responsible for Justice Roberts.

But that was a standoff. Dems filibustered the appointments when the Rep where in power and the Rep can do the same now. My point was the Dems in MA can push anything through they want and over ride any veto of the Governor. That’s not happening in this Admin. at least not yet.

AS for recounting Blue and Red States, I don’t for a minute by into the DBM taker that “millions” are bailing on the GOP. I believe from the folks I speak with that the polling we are seeing to this affect is heavily biased and intended to do just what it seemingly has done to you, convince you there is no sense in even showing up next Nov because we have already lost. The fact is if we do show up we will win big. People in this nation are nowhere near as stupid as the press makes them out. While slow to anger, we do in fact reach a point where enough is enough. This can be seen in the direction the country has taken in the immigration controversy. We are fed up with the arrogance and sense of entitlement these thieves and their supporters on the left deluge us with.

The libs are desperate for failure in Iraq because the alternative is a disaster for them given their previous cut and run and “the war is lost” public positions. Americans, again are not so stupid they cannot now see the reasons for their anti American stance. It is plain for all to see the frantic, arm waving hysteria of the left today as they are slowly sinking under the weight of the good news coming from all sides.

That was my point too. As for "that's not happening in this Admin" - are you speaking about Patrick's Administration? What's your point?

Wherever do you get that from what I wrote? Actually I think the GOP has a pretty good chance next November provided we pick issues that have a broad-based appeal (e.g., illegal immigration, taxes, domestic energy production, etc.) rather than getting fixated on myopic issues of concern only to special interest groups within the GOP.

Brian & Bev lived about 400 feet from the property of Jennifer Tavares’ parents, where Tavares & his wife were staying, & did not know of Tavares’ murder conviction & his criminal background.
