On this date, April 26, 2018, Carl Reimann was released after serving more than 45 years for the murders of David Gardner, Bob Loftus, John Wilson, Catherine Rekate and George Pashade. The now-77-year-old was convicted for their 1972 deaths after police said Reimann walked into an Illinois restaurant and shot them during a robbery AKA the Yorkville’s Pine Village Massacre.
We, the members of Unit 1012, are truly well aware that once the death
penalty is abolished, the Marxist-ACLU Demons will want to end LWOP.
We, DO NOT TRUST them at all and we know that they are nothing but liars who value the lives of murderers and evildoers, with the plan on putting innocent people’s lives at risk of getting murdered.
If they can release Carl Reimann, Ray Larsen (served ‘100 to 300’ years) and Chester Weger who both had served more than 40 years in prison, claiming that they would never be released. Do not be surprise, that in the future, more elderly inmates might be paroled.
Beware of elderly inmates who might kill again, here are two examples:
On this date, January 9, 2013, 70-year-old Dennis Stanworth phoned the Police to confess that he had murdered his own mother. Keep in mind; he had murdered two teenage girls in 1966. Those murders had all happened in the State of California. The SAFE California and the A.C.L.U are as usual keeping quiet about it. Dennis Stanworth’s case is similar to the one of Robert Lee Massie who had his death sentence overturned, only to be paroled to kill again in California.

On this date, August 9, 2019, Albert Flick, a 77-year-old man previously deemed "too old to be a threat" was sentenced to life in prison on Friday for fatally stabbing a woman in front of her children, four decades after he was convicted of a nearly identical crime. This is another great example of why Prisoner Rights Activists will remain silent as it is too extremely embarrassing for them to talk about recidivist killers.

As
the saying goes, “A Dead Murderer is a good murderer.”
Charles Silagy, 69, whose death
sentence was commuted in 2003 by then-Gov. George Ryan has died from medical
issues while in prison. Silagy had been in prison since 1980 — spending about
23 of those years on death row — for the murder of his girlfriend and her
sister. He will never be paroled or kill again.

Yorkville's 'Pine Village massacre' shooter, convicted of killing 5, granted parole
He remembers watching his mother cry at the front door. Catherine's death destroyed the family, he said.
On Thursday, more than 45 years after the crime, he couldn't understand why Catherine's killer, Carl Reimann, had been granted parole.
"He should have sat in the electric chair as far as I'm concerned," said Rekate, now 53. "It just floors me that they let this man walk... I don't care if he's 90 years old, he did the crime, he should pay the time."
Former Kendall County Sheriff and Yorkville Police Chief Richard Randall was one of the first officers on the scene the night Catherine Rekate, customers David Gardner and Bob Loftus, bartender John Wilson, and cook George Pashade were killed at the Pine Village restaurant.
"You don't think of something like this happening in a small town," Randall said of the Yorkville area in the early '70s.
He still describes the scene as traumatic even after decades in law enforcement and is shocked by the parole board's decision.
"I thought of how justice is blind," Randall said. "Today, justice was blind in not seeing the entire picture of five innocent people who were viciously murdered."
The prisoner review board deemed Reimann, 77, of Sandwich, "a good risk for parole" in an eight-to-four vote Thursday morning, said Jason Sweat, the board's chief legal counsel. It was Reimann's 20th parole hearing.
Ken Berry, a paralegal with the law firm Winston and Strawn who spoke in favor of parole at the hearing, said Reimann had showed remorse and a desire to give back to the community.
"We don't believe that he is the same person who committed those horrible crimes 46 years ago," Berry said.
Reimann shot the five people they had
rounded up, as Piche reportedly yelled, "kill them all, kill them
all," according to the newspaper archives. Kendall County State's Attorney
Eric Weis, however, said his review of the police reports say that Piche was
outside when the shooting happened.
Reimann and Piche were stopped shortly afterward by police in Morris. Reimann was sentenced to 50 to 150 years for each murder, plus additional time for armed robbery, to be served concurrently. Piche was also convicted, and was paroled in 1983.
Randall still recalls getting a description of the killer, a person in a blonde wig and their car from Catherine Rekate's father, who had been sitting in his truck outside the restaurant waiting for his daughter to leave work.
William Dunn, then Kendall County deputy coroner, described the shooting as "a bloody massacre" and believes Thursday's parole board decision would open wounds.
"This man doesn't realize the things he's done, not just to my family, but I can only imagine the other families," Bruce Rekate said.
Weis said he urged against parole at the request of family members of those killed, some of whom were at the hearing Thursday. In what was a small community at the time, the shooting still resonates decades later, he said.
"Given the brutal, gruesome nature of a five-cold-blooded murder, I thought it was appropriate that this individual not be granted parole," he said.
Today, conviction for two or more murders would lead to an automatic life sentence with no possibility of parole, Weis said.
The prisoner review board has denied Reimann parole 19 previous times. At his last hearing last year, the vote was tied seven to seven, Sweat said.
In granting Reimann parole this time, the board weighed many factors including three required by state law, Sweat said: members must not find that releasing Reimann would lessen the seriousness of his offense or promote disrespect for the law; releasing him must not have a negative effect on institutional discipline; and he must be able to conform with the conditions of his release.
Board members also raised an "apparently sincere" religious conversion Reimann had in the mid-1980s, and his remorse since then, Sweat said. One board member cited Reimann's decades of work in hospice care at Dixon Correctional Center.
Weis said he understood the prisoner review board's role, but thought the decision sent a bad message.
"If this person can be granted parole based on the crime itself of killing five, then you kind of have to ask yourself why are some of the other people still in custody," he said.

Though parole has been granted, Reimann is not likely to leave prison for at least several weeks, possibly months, Sweat said. Board members must set conditions of his parole, and Reimann must agree to comply with them.
Sweat declined to specify where Reimann is seeking to be released to, citing state law, but he said that there was no indication Reimann planned to return to Yorkville or Kendall County.
Berry said the law firm Winston and Strawn, which took on Reimann's case about a year ago pro bono, tries to continue working with prisoners after their release.
"We're happy for him," Berry said. "But at the same time, we believe in staying in touch with our clients that are the long-term prisoners to help them with any social things they need to ensure that they are successful upon release."
Randall said he kept in touch with Catherine Rekate's father over the years concerning the case.

"He was fearful that the man might
one day be released. Up until he died, he was fearful that he would get
out," Randall said.

I am a Spanish lawyer; your are right; the liberals pro-criminals (ACLU, Amnestey International, Human Rght Watch,Prison Legal News, George Soros and The Open Society, European Union...) want abolish both penalties : life sentence and dead penalty.
ReplyDeleteThis activism pro-criminal become a nightmare for the victims : Serial killer may have struck again
October 12, 2004
In Ecuador, Gilberto Chamba was known as the Monster of Machala, a serial murderer and rapist who went to jail in 1993 for strangling six young women.
Now police are convinced Chamba has struck again, 5,000 miles away, murdering a university student in the north-western Spanish city of Lerida. A man with the same name who also fits Chamba's description was arrested last week after his fingerprints were found on a cloth used to strangle 21-year-old law student Maria Isabel Bascunana.
The victim had been discovered in the boot of her own car, which also had Chamba's fingerprints on it.
Those fingerprints have been sent to Ecuador to see whether they match those of the man who attacked several young women in the small city of Machala, between 1988 and 1993.
“I don't know how he came to leave the country, whether he did so legally or illegally,'' Oscar Solano, the judge in the Ecuadorian province of El Oro who was in charge of the case there, told the Spanish newspaper El Pais yesterday.
Chamba, 43, reportedly left jail four years ago after receiving a pardon and obtained a passport in his own name which did not include any register of his police record.
The pardon, which came as he was serving a 16-year prison term, was one of 250 handed out that year to mark the Roman Catholic church's jubilee year.
When he applied to emigrate to Spain, no evidence of his police record was found, and he was allowed into the country as a legal immigrant. https://murderpedia.org/male.C/c/chamba-gilberto.htm For 12 years I am in contact online with Jennifer Bishop Jenkins (and other victim fighter, Tina Trent), I must point out that Jennifer is a veteran fighter against the death penalty, but had to leave when an abolitionist group found that abolitionism had intended to abolish LWOP last.
But the mistake of advocates for more lenient sentences to criminals is to ignore the experience of other countries in their policies on crime. For 12 years I am in contact on line with Jennifer Bishop Jenkins, I must point out that Jennifer is a veteran fighter against the death penalty but had to leave when an abolitionist group found that abolitionism had intended to abolish LWOP last. You’re right That Soros is a disaster for Penal Reform That Takes Into account the Victims. Clear That abolishing death after the “reformers” would seek to attack next LWOP, Then Any Longer prison sentences. Amnesty International campaigns in Japan to abolish the Death Penalty Oppose enter LWOP But Also … That is the funny thing According To Japanese law a life sentence dog Apply for parole only after 10 years And Also Those under 20 years or Be Sentenced events to the life sentence …
ReplyDeleteIt is true That the lobby in USA PRO-CRIMINAL is ambiguous on LWOP But this is Merely a tactic expect to deletion of the death penalty … to demand the release of Convicted murderers to life Imprisonment. So has-been the case with French, Germain, Spanish, etc.
it is comforting to know That USA is the hidden agenda of groups like The Sentencing Project or edited by Prison Legal News Paul Wright, an ex-con. I have a recommendation, the defenders of the human rights of Victims Should Know to book: A Land Fit for Criminals: An Insider’s View of Crime, Punishment and Justice in the UK, Which Exposes the Fallacies of the Movement Against the prison, the MOST That is dramatic in Spain penals Laws Are Even Worse Than the Inglés: no life sentence, conjugal visits, gymnasiums, swimming pools (sic) in prisons …
USA and Spain Had too many killers eleven Who Were Sentenced to Death for Murders initial, kill again after HAVING Been Spared execution: Kenneth Allen McDuff, Darryl Kemp, Joe Morse, Harvey Louis Carrignan, Bennie Demps, Eddie Simon Wein, Mad Dog Taborsky and on and on. These killers and rapists Had Been Executed the first time around, Many innocents Would Have Lived.
Please, I deeply respect for human rights activists of the victims also fight against the death penalty but want to keep the LWOP. I just want that victims are not deceived as happened in Spain.
Sincerely,
Alfonso
Currently in use there are powerful lobby groups who seek the Abolition of the prison along models to Spain and other European countries: Prison Reform International, Prison Legal News, Human Rights Watch, ACLU, they are generously funded by Ford Foundation, George Soros Open Society … that’s why I was pleasantly surprised when I reported that the Heritage Foundation here to victims unite to combat the anti-incarceration movement here.
