They released him for being "too old to be a threat" and he killed again
The almost 80-year-old man had just paid a 20-year sentence for murdering his wife, a court in Maine (USA) then decided that his age made him "too old to pose a threat", under that logic, Albert Flick was released in 2014, but soon after in 2018 he murdered a woman while walking with her children, stabbing her 11 times in front of the children.
The murder occurred in broad daylight and with the old man's background he was immediately convicted, this time without any possibility of obtaining clemency from justice due to his age or state of health. It was the second time that this murderer had been released and he had re-offended, his previous murder being that of his wife.
The prosecuting attorney assured that he wanted a relationship with his victim
After investigations, the prosecutor assures that the murder was not as spontaneous as it seems (which makes things worse for the murderer), the man had a relationship with his victim since he was released from prison and that day he was following the lady.
Several cameras recorded the subject who entered a local two days before, while he was following Debie, as the lady was called, and in said place he decided to buy the knives, after several days following her he made sure at that moment that there was no one else in the room. sidewalk, as soon as the woman spoke on the phone carelessly approached from behind and stabbed her 11 times in front of her children.
If it's not mine, it won't be anyone else's
It is the thought that the prosecutor thinks led the man to the murder, since it was known that Debie planned to leave the city and abandon him, aware of his close departure and annoyed by the eventual abandonment, the man made the decision (premeditation and treachery), to follow her, buy the knives, and deliver the handfuls that destroyed her victim's lungs and heart.
The case has shocked public opinion and revived a long-standing debate that states that the murderers should not be released for humanitarian or health reasons, regardless of their age, psychological studies and a monitored process of reintegration into society are requested. Unlike a purse thief, the person who has killed in cold blood represents a risk for people who, in the event of an error in their release, can lead to the loss of innocent lives.
The truth is that Albert Flick will surely spend his last years in prison, humanitarian measures ended for him along with his freedom.
