Business as usual in the Bay State
From today's Boston Herald:
One less dirtbag walking the streets - always a good thing. 20 years in the lock-up followed by a one-way ticket to El Salvador sounds good to me. Better yet, how about 20 years in a jail in El Salvador? I wonder if they have advocacy groups arguing in court for comfy mattresses and cable TV for their prison inmates. Yeah, didn't think so.
And no story like this would be complete without the scumbag's lawyer spouting off crap like this:
Sorry, but I don't think the Kennedy Defense is gonna float here (pun intended). Also in this article is this gem from our testicularly-impaired District Attorney (also see this post):
Well, you sure did a bang-up job here, Danny Boy. You didn't do shit to protect this woman and her child! This women was assaulted and had her baby taken from her by a violent individual who, it seems likely, isn't even legally allowed to be in the country. Do you honestly think that by waiting until AFTER a violent crime has occurred and THEN prosecuting the perpetrator, you are truly serving the community? Anyone can act tough and throw the book at a guy who's already in handcuffs. This woman is damn lucky to be alive, and it's not due to any tough crime-fighting efforts on your part.
This is the heart of the John Kerry Anti-Terror philosophy - respond to terrorist attacks with force (as long as France says it's OK).
Not only was Jose Granados arraigned yesterday for kidnapping his 19-day-old son, but immigration officials are waiting in the wings to talk with the citizen of El Salvador.
Granados, 28, also was charged with assault with a deadly weapon and threats, assault and battery, and child endangerment after an Amber Alert led to his capture and the baby's rescue in Malden Monday night.

"Alcohol played a role in impairing his judgment," said Austin Freeley, Granados' lawyer.

"Protecting a woman and a child from an abusive relationship is a real priority for this DA's office," said Suffolk District Attorney Daniel Conley.
