First of all, may I say what courage the New Haven Register had to write the recent story, “No prison time for dog killer.” I was not only saddened by the judgment made by Judge Maureen Keegan, but was enraged to think that all Micah Rapini was imposed is mental health treatment. Clearly, it has been determined by greater minds that people such as this boy may one day turn out to kill a human being. He must and should be incarcerated for a period of time in order to understand his reprehensible behavior. In addition, he does need counseling.
However, treatment alone will not solve his horrendous actions. Alex Wullaert should be commended for his actions outside the court.
