Silence of the Lambs

[Marilyn]

Fans of the movie will recall that Hannibal Lecter made his famous jailbreak in the movie from a Jail in.....you got it Memphis. The movie made the police Dept. look like a cross between Barney Fife on Mayberry and the Keystone cops.....so how do you loose this murderer...not once, but TWICE???

Meet Dearick Stokes....convicted murderer serving LIFE.


During his original trial he just walked away from court...you heard me, just walked out....so they got him back,trial over, sentenced ot LIFE, and the fools released him by mistake....he's out on the streets right now.

<span style="font-style: italic">MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) - A man sentenced to life in prison for murder was released by mistake from the Shelby County Jail in Memphis.

Shelby County Sheriff's Office spokesman Steve Shular said an investigation is under way to determine how 21-year-old Dearick Stokes was released on Thursday evening.

The Commercial Appeal reported that Stokes was awaiting transfer to the state prison system when prosecutors dismissed an earlier domestic assault charge since he already had a life sentence.

Moments before a jury found him guilty of murder during his trial in February, Stokes told his attorney he was going to the bathroom and left the courthouse. He was captured in March hiding in a Memphis home.

Shular said they were making every possible effort to find him.</span>

Man before you got all grilled up, wouldn't you get your teeth straightened out and the gaps fixed??? Seems like braces would have been a better investment.

Re: Silence of the Lambs

In other, but related news, a Miss HIcks, in the baby jail down the street from me in Desoto county , on domestic assault charge (guess she beat the Mr. up), scaled a 14 foot fence at the jail and went through the razor wire all cut up and escaped. She then went to a lady's house and exchanged her pink jumpsuit for normal clothes. The lady called police, but she left before they arrived.

The warden on charge of that facility says &quot;I don't know why she would go to such drastic lengths on such a minor charge. I guess people who get arrested don't have much common sense.&quot;

Re: Silence of the Lambs

and back to Mr. Stokes.... the judge who sentenced him to life says he is livid that he was not &quot;notified&quot; that he had escaped and was out there. I guess the judge who sentenced you to life would be concerned that you might want to make a social call on him while on the lamb.

The way dude got out was, they dropped a pending charge of domestic violence his baby mama had pending against him, because seems like a moot point to pursue such a charge against someone who has been given life.

So when that got dropped, ALLEGEDLY, the dumb A jailers did not look at ALL of his paperwork, and thinking ALLEGEDLY that that was the only charge against him, let him go.

Now get this, they said HE should have said something to the jailers ....give me a damn break....Memphis \o/
