Smart Mom

In our local paper the headline read, "Should have kept son in jail, Mom says." An online version of this story, from the Monterey Herald reads “Convicted Killer’s Mom Glad Son Is Jailed." The gist of the story revolves around one David Maust, who was convicted of murder, twice, once in 1974 and again in 1981, and who now is accused of killing again since his release in 1999.  His mother, Eva Reyes, is fairly certain Maust has killed others since 1999, but that is just a mother’s intuition speaking.

Reyes says the justice system bears some responsibility for Maust’s current accusations, since they let him loose upon the population, and I agree, though the primary responsibility is her son’s.  But it is the following comments, from Eva Reyes, a simple person’s critique of the justice system, that bear consideration.

"When he was in prison (in Illinois) they said he would never get out,” Reyes said. “He conned a judge ... They should charge the judge for the murders, too."
