Found Deceased TN - Eliza "Liza" Fletcher, 34, Abducted While Jogging, Memphis, 2022 *arrest* #5

[Seattle1]

I've often wondered how these evil sex criminals "do" in prison.

He's been a career, "100% violent" offender since age 11, and feels no remorse for his vicious crimes against women. He was released from prison in 2020 when his sentence expired. IMO, he does much better in prison than being outside-- and never should have been released in 2020.

He is just another career criminal that gets released way too soon and goes on to commit worse and worse crimes culminating in murder, sometimes multiple murders. Our prison system is a train wreck.

So the 80 years are for the other woman's case, not Fletchers? Am I reading that right?

Correct.

Cleo’s murder trial for Eliza is not yet scheduled.

“The April rape trial will take place before the trial in the Fletcher case. Prosecutors say they will pursue the death penalty if Abston is convicted of first-degree murder in Fletcher’s death, but no trial date has been set in that case.”

This violent, career criminal is exactly the type person for whom the death penalty was designed. Not as a deterrent, but to keep them from escaping or being released to commit more and more violence against an innocent public.

I don't understand how it's so serious that it can be an 80-year sentence, but not serious enough to lock him up immediately after it happened.
