We looked into the backgrounds of the three robbers names in today's Community Credit Union fiasco.
Darrin Hume, Fred Lapidus and Ben Winslet were found guilty in January of robbing the diner during the breakfast rush.
They had entered the diner with ski masks and knives demanding everyone's money in the restaurant. They were later caught becuase of a car accident on the Community Island Bridge where Hume suffered a broken leg, Lapidus and Winslet both suffered concussions and minor lacerations.
They were sentenced to 15 years in prison by Judge Kristine Hubler.
As this new information comes to light we have to wonder how did these men get out of prison and why were they on the streets to cause my harm and do no good? We will keep you updated as more information comes our way in today's event.
We have new information on the reason these three men were not in custody of the prison. We contacted James DaLuke, chairman of the state Board of Pardons and Parole. All he could tell us was this:
ReplyDelete"All I can say is that we at the board of pardons and parole try our best to make the right decisions about who should be kept behind bars and who should be let go. Our prisons are overcrowded, so sometimes we let prisoners go before they've reached their minimum sentence. We try our best to understand who is a good risk and who is a bad risk. But we don't have a crystal ball."
