A word from one of our readers offering perspective on possible solutions to our current crime trend . . .
TKC Reader: "This is why crime is so bad south of the river and minimal in Platte and Clay Counties. The Judges actually hold people accountable for their crimes up north, unlike Jackson County Judges."
The story
KCTV5: Prison escapee who shot at police gets 128 year sentence
Deets . . .
"A man who escaped from prison and then shot at multiple law enforcement officers during a high-speed chase has been sentenced to 128 years in prison. Scott A. Gilbert, 52, received the sentence from a Platte County Judge Monday. Gilbert was found guilty of ten felonies in a November 2015 jury trial.
“Thank goodness no police officers were injured in apprehending this dangerous escaped inmate. Anyone who would shoot at law enforcement officers and put countless people in harm’s way deserves a long prison sentence, and that’s exactly what this defendant will serve," Platte County Prosecuting Attorney Eric Zahnd sad.
"Evidence at trial showed that Gilbert was traveling in a stolen pickup truck that left the McDonald’s in Platte City at about 10:00 am on May 10, 2013. Earlier that morning, Gilbert had escaped from the Lansing, KS Correctional Facility, allegedly with another inmate who was driving the truck."

Always been that way. Murderers don't do hardly any time and everyone knows it. One of the main reasons I moved out of Jackson County.
ReplyDeleteHang the fucker today.
ReplyDeleteThat judge was weak
ReplyDeleteJackson County Judges have ruined this county. They are almost entirely responsible for the violence in KC.
ReplyDeleteHe would have gotten a couple years in Jackson County.

ReplyDelete"He would have gotten a couple years in Jackson County."
ReplyDeleteNope, just an admonition from "mean" Jean to try and be a better boy next time, right before she dropped the charges... unless their was a news camera around.
And Tony applauds them when it's his fat azz primo getting probation or a gun charge instead of the book for killing someone.
ReplyDeleteIs some mathematical genius worried this guy is going to outlive his sentence?
ReplyDeleteHe obviously did not have a lawyer who made political contributions to the right peoople.
ReplyDelete11:11---Ease up on Mean Jean. I happen to find her tremendously sexy.
ReplyDeleteJust think, he will probably get a presidential pardon very soon.
ReplyDeleteJust a thought: What do you figure the actual life expectancy of this a$$#0le is? 25+ years? And, is it a good use of tax money to keep him in prison -- at a cost of @ $35-45K a year plus expensive medical treatment -- instead of kicking him out at 70?
ReplyDeletePerhaps, Jackson County voters are smart enough to do simple math -- and do not need for judges and prosecutors to grandstand for them.
Yep...and that is why crime is so much lower in Jackson County. Oh, wait...

ReplyDeleteJackson County Judges are in the circle of friends network. So, don't expect much from those losers. They didn't work to get there - they were gifted those positions.
