Man Released From Jail Breaks Off GPS Monitor, Kills Ex-Girlfriend, Police Say

[Demovictory9]

A Florida man who was under house arrest has been accused of fatally stabbing his ex-girlfriend after snapping off his GPS ankle monitor and going to her home.

Dorvilus then fled the trailer park, sparking a manhunt that lasted several hours until he was apprehended in Lauderhill.

He was booked into a Miami-Dade jail and charged with first-degree murder and armed burglary. Under Florida law on murder cases, Dorvilus will be held in jail until his trial.

The 29-year-old was already facing several domestic violence charges, after allegations that he beat Etienne on two separate occasions and pointed a gun at her.

A police report obtained by the Herald said Dorvilus had been arrested on June 1 after an argument between the couple. He was later fitted with a GPS ankle monitor and ordered to stay in his home until his trial.

During the June argument, Dorvilus had reportedly pointed his 9mm gun at Etienne after she said she wanted to end their six-year relationship.

According to police, he said: "If you try and leave me, I will shoot you dead."

1. Te law really doesn't seem to give a shit about domestic violence cases.

If I had a buck for all these stories…

2. An Ankle Monitor?

For a guy who threatened with a gun & specifically said he would shoot her?
And, a judge didn't think he was too dangerous to rely on a breakable device?
The judge sounds none too bright.

3. I long ago learned that nobody monitors the monitors.

He probably did not even have to take it off, nobody knows when they leave the house. It is only after the fact of a crime do they check to see where they are/were. Under no circumstances should somebody who has threatened someone with death and assaulted them, be left on an ankle bracelet. There have been other examples where this has led to the death of others.

5. Same goes for the "Restraining Order". A court document that only shows up AFTER the victims are

...dead or injured or missing.

A piece of paper which is the only protection given the victim, between life & death.

6. Just like all those cameras in stores, they have to pay the watchers but they're too cheap.

It's all about the Intimidation Factor.
