Report: Romney administration could kept killer behind bars


http://www.komotv.com/news/12883992.html

By Associated Press
BOSTON (AP) - A killer accused in the slaying of a newlywed couple in Washington state shortly after he was released from prison in Massachusetts should have been held behind bars for almost a year longer but the Romney administration failed to file paperwork in time to take away his "good time" credits, according to a published report.

The Department of Correction, under then-Gov. Mitt Romney, did not act on disciplinary recommendations for Daniel Tavares after he was accused of assaults on prison guards in 2003 and 2005, the Boston Herald reported Friday.

The secretary of public safety and commissioner of the Department of Correction scheduled a news conference for Friday to discuss findings of their probe into the release of Tavares.

1. Not good. Pales in comparison to the Dumond case, however.
I think BOTH should be disqualified!
