Dr. William Petit Jr.

“The two savages who broke into the home of a prominent physician and his family in Connecticut should never have been walking loose in a civilized society.

Doctor William Petit, a prominent endocrinologist, was brutally beaten with a baseball bat, tied up and thrown into the basement of the home while the burglars sexually assaulted his wife and 2 daughters.

Early the next morning, the doctor’s wife was forced to withdraw money from a local bank. When the animal got her back home the rape-torture continued. Ultimately, the wife was strangled and the daughters, who had been tied to their beds, were doused with gasoline and the house was torched.”

So writes Bob Weir in American Thinker, an online daily internet publication. Weir is a former detective sergeant in the New York City Police Department. He is the executive editor of The News Connection in Highland Village, Texas.

He joins us tonight on “A Conversation with Andrea and…” at 9 ET on Blog Talk Radio to explore why, when two men had been arrested more than 20 times for burglary, the justice system did not find a place to incarcerate them for the rest of their lives.

It’s a question that gets to the heart of anyone one of us. Could we be the next victims of criminals who are released because of overcrowded jails and a justice system with no teeth?
