In the wake of the assault arrest of a seven-time lifer out on parole, the new head of the state Parole Board yesterday said the board is reviewing the casework of all the state’s paroled lifers to see if more supervision is required.
“Our primary objective with the policy is to create a level of enhanced supervision for certain parolees to ensure those who (are) at a higher risk are receiving the maximum amount of supervision,” said Chairman Josh Wall.
Word of the review comes after a convicted killer — paroled in 2007 while serving seven life sentences — was arrested for allegedly dragging his girlfriend from his car and threatening to “put a bullet in her head” on Valentine’s Day.
Charles Doucette Jr., 51, of Beverly was nabbed late Monday evening and charged with assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, threat to kill, and witness intimidation.
Doucette told cops his girlfriend hit him and he pushed her away from the car and then drove off.
He was held without bail following his arraignment Tuesday in Salem District Court.
Wall said the board is working on revoking Doucette’s parole, which would send him back to prison for the rest of his life. Parolees can be sent back to prison for a number of non-criminal violations, including the use of alcohol and drugs, Wall noted.
According to a letter sent to the Parole Board by Essex District Attorney Jonathan W. Blodgett in 2006, Doucette was sentenced to seven concurrent life sentences for second-degree murder, home invasion and a variety of other offenses committed while he was out on bail for the 1991 murder. Doucette served 15 years and was paroled in February 2007.
Suzanne Maynard, the sister of Ray Bufalinos who was shot to death execution-style by Doucette, said she was one of nine whose testimony failed to sway the board that year.
“He’s a menace to society. I hate his guts, I can’t help it,” Maynard said. “He’s a vicious, violent person who never should have gotten out. I don’t get it. I don’t get our system.”
The year after his parole, Doucette was charged with raping a woman and was ordered held on $300,000 bail in Haverhill District Court, but a grand jury found there was not enough evidence to indict him, the Essex DA’s office said.

WTF is this POS doing breathing, let alone walking loose on the street ?

Ok, a life sentence should, one thinks, mean life (or in Texas 40 years). Now, lets assume "life without parole" is on the books. Life would indicate parole is optional. Wouldn't you assume that youl'd have to serve at least half to two thirds of that (meaning 20-25 years) before being considered? On what planet does paroling someone with SEVEN life terms after only 15 years make any sense? WTF? :o I mean its not like the guy committed a crime of passion or got hot headed in an SD situation, or even got drunk and pulled a knife in a bar fight! He was a coldblooded home invader. I know its Massachsusetts but still. If ever there was an argument for why Mass should have statewide shall issue, that's it in a nutshell. "Don't need guns, the cops will protect us." Wrong, but even if it were true and they were perfect, it doesn't much help if the BG is out 15 minutes after he goes in.

They didn't learn anything from Docaca's and Willy Horton.
The article doesn't say when in 2007 he was paroled, but Mitt Romney was Gov until 1-4-07.
Remember that when the AWB signing POS starts campaigning.

It came out in the GOP primary. Apparently Ol' Seamus (an Irish Setter, what else ::)) was strapped to the top of the family station wagon on route north to the vaction home.

Speaking of nanny states - here a little conversation on home defense from the Australian Today show. Funny and sad all at the same time.

"without parole" must be like "not be infringed" to liberals.

Yup these numpties are happy to be able to defend themselves in their homes but they crucify some one else if it happens.
