A 30-year-old advertising executive was abducted, raped and murdered while walking to her car after work one night in downtown Seattle. Her body was discovered a week later, and a man was arrested in connection with the crimes. He was a state inmate recently placed into a work-release facility who had skipped work the day of the crime and failed to return that night. It should not have been this way. The man was a diagnosed sexual psychopath deemed too dangerous to participate in any rehabilitation systems. With no options for treatment available, the state released him into the community, almost daring him to commit more crimes.Sources:Justice Is Not a Game: The Devastating Racial Inequity of Washington's Three Strikes Law | WA State Legislature - RCW 9A.32.020: Premeditation—Limitations. |WA State Legislature - RCWs > Title 10 > Chapter 10.95 > Section 10.95.020 | WA State Legislature - RCW 9A.32.030: | Study: 3-strikes laws increase homicides - UPI.com | Law of unintended consequences | Unintended Consequences | Prohibition | Ken Burns | PBS | Sex Offense Treatment and Assessment | Washington State Department of Corrections | Special Commitment Center | DSHS | Murder in the first degree. | Mercer Island Yearbook - 1976 | Mercer Island H.S.
