Why do we keep releasing these violent offenders from jail when they should be locked up for decades at a minimum?
A 22-year-old university student in the United States was found beaten to death and wrapped in a sheet in the back seat of her car - days after her boyfriend was let out of jail. According to the New York Post, Lauren Johansen's body was discovered wrapped in trash bags and a sheet on July 3 at a cemetery in Mississippi.
Her father said he pleaded with a judge not to release her ex-boyfriend from jail, warning he would "kill her" if he did. However, the judge didn't heed his warnings and five days later, the body of the 22-year-old was found mutilated in her own car and police say her boyfriend was responsible.
According to the Post, Ms Johansen's former partner, 23-year-old Bricen Rivers, has been arrested and charged with her murder. He had been released on a bond just five days before the 22-year-old's death. He was previously held for aggravated kidnapping for brutally beating Ms Johansen and holding her hostage during a December trip to Nashville. SOURCE
