OUTRAGEOUS JUSTICE SYSTEM

BEYOND OUTRAGEOUS!

I was stunned when I read this morning that Gary Steven Krist, who buried Barbara Jane Mackle ALIVE for over three days in Georgia in 1969, not only was released after serving ten years of a supposed life sentence, but was PARDONED so that he could get a medical degree?!!!! What in the world is wrong with the justice system?

Other than the OJ Simpson fiasco, this is just the most horrendous miscarriage of justice I have ever seen. How any court or prison system let this man out after ten years--much less pardon him so that he could study medicine--is the craziest thing I have ever heard.

He practiced medicine in Indiana before his license was revoked in 2003 as a result of lying about disciplinary action received during his residency. Would you want to have as your physician someone who had kidnapped and buried a girl alive?

In March 2006 Krist and his stepson were arrested after Georgia police found an underground drug lab for manufacturing cocaine buried beneath a shed on his property, so, obviously, he is still into burying things! They were arrested on a sailboat off the Alabama coast with over 38 pounds of cocaine in their possession(about $1 million worth). On May 16, 2006 Krist pled guilty to drug smuggling, and on January 19, 2007 he was sentenced to more than five years in prison.

God help us all!

The fact that he was paroled on the condition he never set foot in Georgia again, and then the pardon went through with no notice to the public and he ends up living in Georgia again, it why the Parole Board in Ga should be shot.

much of the information in the news on gary's arrest and sentence was incorrect.. there was no underground lab at his home.. they only found paint.. if there was an underground lab, the feds charge would have been 20 to life. the amount wasnt what was said, and there were a few other things i am not privvy to say..

further, before the time in Indiana, gary did missionary medical work in haiti..
the town in indiana wanted him to stay but a bible toting single white woman felt like anonymous and pushed for him out with a holier than thou attitude. he was much loved by the town because he gave medical help they long since wanted and he was accurate and he didnt care about payment from them. the mayor, the town ministers, the doctor he worked with and many town members went to the medical board in his defense.

well karma got her back..one year later, the bible toting woman with the holier than thou attitude ended up pregnant with a married man's baby who wasnt married to her and he didnt marry her..

re. living again in georgia.. not living in georgia was only part of the parole.. period.. gary recv'd a full pardon because mackey wrote him a really nice letter to the parole board.. with that pardon , he can live anywhere he wants

finally .. gary has not been in trouble for 38 years.. from his screw up then to his screw up now.. gary did a lot of good for people and he was a law abiding citizen..

My Photo
Name:
Location: Montgomery, Alabama, United States

I am a retired legal secretary and widow. I grew up in Midway, AL and graduated from Union Springs High School (now Bullock County High). I attended business school; went to Atlanta and lived there for 13 years; lived and worked in Silver Spring, Maryland for seven years. I have a daughter and two granddaughters, and am the middle child of five. Both parents are no longer living. My mother was quite a poet and my father was a self-taught musician and a very good one. My 30-year-old nephew, Bruce Evans, was killed in the line of duty with the Jackson County, MS Sheriff's Department on July 18, 2000, leaving a beautiful wife and two beautiful children, ages 8 and 5 1/2, so I suppose that pushes me to make my voice heard about crime and punishment.
