'Questions were raised about the case because Cardamone was on parole and had breached parole twice.
It is understood Cardamone failed a drugs test in May 2013. His parole was cancelled and he was in custody for almost a year before he re-applied for release. Parole was approved and he was back in the community in March 2014.
Almost a year later, the 50-year-old again breached parole when he was charged in February 2015 with producing child *advertiser censored* over an image found on his mobile phone of a six-year-old girl's bottom.
Cardamone spent more than four months in custody, but his parole was again approved in July 2015 after the charges were dismissed in the Magistrates Court.
He murdered Ms Chetcuti, who worked at the Wangaratta City Council, on January 14, 2016. '
I'll be damned if can figure out just what a parolee has to do to not get parole approved....it defies rationale , and truly, the parole board must have some gut instincts, ... one look at Cardamone should have rung any number of alarm bells, and a whole lot of not very difficult enquiries would have made clear that Mumma Cardamone was not any kind of person to be responsible for the behaviour of her son.
She wasn't when he raped and nearly killed the little15 yr old on her watch, way back then. And events have inevitabley proven that Mumma may well have been encouraging Cardamone in his pursuit of happiness in regard to his peculiar sexual preferences.
I get the impression that the parole board is, and probably by necessity, city centrally minded, and along with a rosy view of 'peaceful honest rural life' and a strange belief in the 'healing properties ' of the bush, and all the good men and women who battle it out there, dawn till dusk, setting an example of a crimeless lifestyle, and therefore a suitable environment for Cardmone.
But the bush is where Cardamone found his element in annihilating women, it is where his criminal ventures began and , after determined efforts to cram as much hideous crime into his life as is possible, it is where Cardamone finally reached the pinnacle of his criminal pursuits. Murder.
I cannot help but conclude that Cardamone had some sort of pull to have his parole granted and maintained so many times, for serious criminal breaches of it.. it doesn't make sense, in the philosophy of the meaning and purpose of parole.
