"Billingsley made a virtual court appearance Friday morning for a bail review involving four separate cases from two jurisdictions -- LaPere's killing, an arson and rape on Sept. 19, a gun theft in Baltimore County and a failure to register as a sex offender charge. Billingsley was ordered to remain held without bail.
The state called the Sept. 19 attack "extremely disturbing" and called LaPere's killing "a heinous case," telling the judge that Billingsley allegedly waived his Miranda rights and confessed after his arrest.
Prosecutors told the judge that Billingsley admitted to beating the victim to death "with a brick and his hands." In court, the defense did not ask to be heard on the bond issue. Bot the public defender and assistant state's attorney declined comment outside of court."
Horrific and brutal crime. If only there was some way this could have been prevented... oh wait there was:
"No one is alleging the Division of Correction did anything wrong in releasing Billingsley early. The conversation centers around diminution credits, sometimes referred to as "good-time credits."
In 2015, Billingsley had been in prison after pleading guilty to a first-degree sex offense. The mayor at Thursday's news conference said Billingsley should have stayed in prison for previous crimes.
"Rapists shouldn't be let out early, period. When you rape someone ... you should not get out early, period, for that kind of offense," Scott said."
Soft on crime kills people. Violent criminals do not deserve additional chances to main and kill.
