RAPIST RELEASED FROM PRISON TO SAVE MONEY

California – A California appeals court has granted the release of a quadriplegic rapist who was considered an excessive cost to the state. Steven Martinez was convicted of several counts of violent rape in 1998 after he drove his car over a woman, assaulted her, kidnapped her and then raped her.
While serving his sentence in 2001, Martinez was attacked by two other inmates and was stabbed in the neck. The wound paralyzed him instantly. As an inmate, his caretakers say he remains an “angry, repulsive person.” Martinez applied last year to become the first inmate freed under a medical parole law that aims to reduce prison costs.
