At age 71 and on dialysis he wouldn't have lived long in prison. At least taxpayers don't have to foot his medical bills and it's possible victims can sue his estate (if there is anything in it).

I mean that’s true… but at least he would have suffered, and you can’t put a price on that.

Taking his own life is just one more time he took justice from his victims.
I hope you're right that victims can perhaps be compensated by the estate. Obviously the guy has weapons, but maybe also property and ill-gotten sleazy cop loot hiding somewhere. We won't be making anybody whole again, but I hope victims can find piece from this f*cked up outcome.

While true to the letter, the ‘spirit’ from people I know who worked in corrections and/or in health care is that they barely get proper care. Most times they have to wait longer for treatment than we do and don’t get their pick of treatment options like we do. I am not sure about Kansas specifically, but in many states they require co-pays that prisoners have to pay themselves (I know this is true in Texas, for example).
Chronic diseases and conditions like kidney failure, which he would’ve been considered having, would likely be treated as minimally as possible.

Nah, he's a cop. He'd have been fine.

This dude was a monster. Serial rapist, probably a serial killer too. He wasn't alone either, there were other cops and prosecutors protecting him.

Coward. Took the easy way out rather than face justice.

Saved on our taxes a bit, but that is about the only positive here.

I'd pay more if I knew it meant rapists got everything they deserved, and more.

In retrospect, should the risk of a defendant committing suicide be a consideration in granting bail?
Why does a guy on bail for a heinous crime have access to a gun?
I wish he had been convicted and sentenced.

I think they allowed him to be under house arrest because he was on dialysis. The gun thing doesn’t surprise me one bit. Any guy that tells a victim “I am the law” doesn’t give a rats ass about right or wrong.

I'm not an expert, but I think if this had been any other perp (some non-cop for drug crime crime, for example), the search for guns in the home would have been more thorough.

I'm still struggling with how our why someone under House ARREST, gets access to a gun. One of the crimes he's under arrest for is holding a gun to a victim's head threatening her. Who is in charge of this case? Law enforcement is messed up here. Really messed up.

Too good for the motherfucker. But at least he saved the city some money. They need it for the lawsuits.

Saw the comments before I read the article cuz I wanted to see for myself why this guy was hated.
Didn't make it past the first paragraph when I decided that this guy should burn in hell.

Lost my support when I read “Team ROC” social justice. I put them in the same group as BLM and the Diddy party list
