Shocked Over Schimmel Case

I was shocked to read that Eric Schimmel was released from jail just before midnight, not to his mother but to the streets. It is hard to believe that jail officials cannot tell that he was mentally disabled.

I also do not understand why Deputy Dist. Atty. Brenda Andrade wanted to pursue the case. As a member of the public that Ms. Andrade wishes to protect I would rather see her energies directed toward those criminals who have already proven to be a threat to our society. And God bless Manny Beltran for doing what most people would not. JACKIE HALL
