Murderer Who Was Released For Being Too Old To Be Dangerous Kills Another

A man identified as Albert Flick was released for being too old to be dangerous for a crime he was accused of and got into the same act roughly 6 years later.

Albert Flick appeared before a judge in Portland, Maine, in 2010 when he was in his 60s and had spent roughly a third of his life in prison.

He is reported to have previously killed his wife and assaulted 3 other women on separate occasions but the judge chose to sentence him to just 4 years in prison, hoping that by the time of his release in 2014 he would be 73 years.

"At some point Mr. Flick is going to age out of his capacity to engage in this conduct and incarcerating him beyond the time that he ages out doesn't seem to me to make good sense," Maine Superior Court, Justice Robert E. Crawley says.

However, eight years after that hearing, as reported by AP, Flick struck again, fatally stabbing a woman outside a laundromat in Lewiston, Maine, as her 11 year old twin sons watched.

The suspect is now to face life sentence.
