• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Right now, Mark Mitchell, he's got a bit on his
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: plate at the moment. He'll be happy with the score
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: he got from Audrey Young in her ranking of ministers
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: for midterm. But I reckon he is holding on to
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: a ticking time bomb. This is the case of the
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: beautiful young Colombian woman woman in christ Church living next
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: door to a monster. She didn't know he'd been let
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: out of prison ten weeks before he raped her and
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: stabbed her to death. He was on parole, by the way.
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: And here's the problem. Corrections knew he was quote a
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: high high high risk. Any young attractive woman near him
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: would be a target. Poor Juliana bonnella head Eda. That
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: was the woman she lived next door. She didn't know
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: about his past, and Corrections somehow didn't know she'd moved
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: in next door to this animal. Now, since we spoke
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: about this the other day, a couple of things have happened,
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: a couple of updates for you. And this is where
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: Mitchell comes in. This guy was on parole right, which
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: means he's been let out of prison early. Could still
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: be in prison, but you're not because we've let you out.
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: Now you wonder how many other high risk offenders like
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: this guy are released from prison early, and is this,
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: you know, a good idea? Well, a senior correction staff
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: for this week says they're regularly being let out early
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: and let into the community, not just people like this guy,
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: but people with quote even higher risk here's what I reckon.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: This case and a long list of parole botch ups
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: before it are all the evidence you need that we
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: can't trust the system once these guys make it outside
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: the government should immediately pause the release of high risk,
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: violent thugs into our communities. Everyone loves to talk about
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: safety first, Well here's a bloody good place to start.
• 1:59
