Parolee Shoots Policeman Dead, No One Was Watching

This guy sentenced to three life terms, was released and on parole when he shot dead a police officer during a robbery. Why wasn't he under police surveillance as I am 24/7? Police priorities make political harassment more important than public safaty. Appointing police, joins probation department and judiciary in needing scrutiny.

[From article]
"In May 1986, Dominic Cinelli pleaded guilty to five armed robberies in Suffolk Superior Court and was sentenced to 25 years in prison, but cut his wrists in a holding cell and was rushed to Massachusetts General Hospital, where he used a toy gun to disarm a Suffolk County deputy, then used the deputy’s gun to steal a 1981 Ford station wagon — all while still wearing leg irons, newspaper accounts show.

He was on the run for about 10 days before he was caught at the Corner Cafe in the North End listening to a police scanner with a .32 caliber revolver in his pocket, news accounts state.

He was eventually put back in prison, where he was serving three life sentences, when in 2005, a state appeals court ruled that he should be eligible for parole, according to a record of his parole hearing. After four years, the Parole Board released him, and he walked in February 2009, state records show."
