From article linked below (bolded by me):
“In 2016, a divorce agreement with his ex-wife was amended to only allow supervised visits with their child. In a motion to modify the agreement, McLean's former wife claimed he threatened her and her boyfriend in front of the child, would not use a car seat or seat belt when the child was in the car, was not taking prescribed medications to treat bipolar disorder and severe depression and
threatened his former in-laws.
In June 2020, Boone County Judge Brouck Jacobs issued a full order of protection for McLean's ex-wife after a temporary order was issued in May 2020. In the full order, McLean was banned from communicating with his former wife, including through their child.
However, McLean did not follow the limits of the order, documents show.
Last December, he was charged with violating the order of protection. Court documents say McLean messaged his ex-wife on Aug. 27, Oct. 7, and Oct. 14, 2020, threatening her to see their child.
McLean pleaded guilty to the violations this March and was sentenced to two years of unsupervised probation.”
This is only MOO, but the judge who gave this monster only 2 years unsupervised probation after he flagrantly and repeatedly violated the court’s conditions has blood on his or her hands. There was every indication that this loser had zero intention to reform, had no fear of/respect for the law, and honestly anyone with a modicum of common sense could have anticipated that come hell or high water, he would take revenge on his ex-wife in any way possible (including killing her parents). Again, just my opinion, but I can’t imagine how this judge lives with the knowledge that the slap-on-the-wrist punishment they meted out—at minimum—facilitated the deaths of these four innocent people.
