Double Murderer Freed by Newsom’s Parole Board Killed a Woman

Double Murderer Freed by Newsom’s Parole Board Killed a Woman

Once upon a time we locked up murderers. Then we settled for locking them up for life. Then liberals decided that was still too harsh and California went from the death penalty to a revolving door system for double murderers.

Like Darryl Lamar Collins.

Fatima Johnson, a 53-year-old mother of six, was found dead by her daughters in her apartment on July 4, 2021. Her family grew worried after she failed to show up for work or return text messages.

Johnson’s grisly murder, in which her hands were tied while she was choked or smothered to death while being wrapped in a blanket, led investigators to Darryl Lamar Collins, who had been convicted of killing two other people in 1998.

Collins, who only served 25 years of his 50-year sentence for those murders under California’s youthful offender laws, killed Johnson less than a year after he was released from prison.

Who could have seen this one coming?

In Gov. Gavin Newsom’s California, three life terms somehow turns into a mere two decades for a serial child rapist and “a Mexican convicted in 2000 of over 20 counts of forcible rape for crimes that began when his victim was 11-years-old and included attempted murder and other assaults to induce a miscarriage, who qualified for parole despite a sentence of 139 years in prison.”

So why shouldn’t Daryll’s 50 year sentence turn into 25 years and an opportunity to go on killing.

Gov. Newsom will hide behind false claims about “independent parole boards”. They’re not independent when he appoints them.

The question is how many more have to die for Newsom’s pro-crime politics?
