This week, the northern Baltimore County village of Hereford was shocked to wake up and learn that Mary Sullivan was killed by an idiot who drove his car into her house. There is a lot of righteous anger up here at Aubry Carlton Miller, Jr, who was driving a stolen pick-up truck when he made a 90-degree turn right into the house off York Road.
But there should be a lot more anger at state judges and prosecutors who repeatedly put this walking sack of crap back on the road. He has a criminal history longer than my leg, and has gotten away with more crimes than a Nixon White House staffer.
1. Open Container Charge on April 4, 2008 was Nolle Prosequi. That's "decline to prosecute", despite a long list of previous violations.
2. Judge Dryden found him guilty of theft on 10/27/2000, and sentenced him to 6 months in jail, but he was initially given probation.
3. State's Attorney Kim Detrick Nolle Pros'd a Driving on a Suspended License charge on 7-21-2003.
4. He is currently facing a CDS -- Possession of Marijuana charge from 7/15/2008, with a trial date of 9/15. Note that he is out on his own recognizance -- no bail is recorded in the system for him.
5. On 6/26/2003 he was found guilty of a lesser charge -- unauthorized removal of property -- for stealing lifestock. The theft charge over $500 was nolle pros'd again by the Assistant State's Attorney. He got 30 days. Remember when we used to hang people for cattle rustling and horse thieving?
6. Speeding charge w/ $135 fine (and failure to appear! suspension in 2004).
7. Failure to stop at a steady red light .
8. Speeding in 2002 -- doing 85 in a 55 !
9. Another speeding in 2002 -- doing 67 in a 40 !
The list goes on and on and on and on...
This guy has been in and out of the system so many times, its amazing that he doesn't have a courthouse named after him.
Hopefully, the judge he faces in Towson will decide enough is enough, and that he should spend some substantial time in jail for killing a woman because Aubry Carlton Jr. is a complete and total shitbird.
If not, we should start asking why the law matters -- if judges and County States Attorneys can so readily turn the courthouse into a revolving door, elevating recidivism to an art -- why should any of us give a damn what they OR the police think?
And why shouldn't we start taking the law into our hands. Our legal system is only worth a damn if it is used and not abused. Who speaks for the victims? If you are a victim of Aubry Carlton Miller, it's not the judges or prosecutors in this state.
