HOW MANY OF THESE CRIMINALS ARE BLACK?
Here Are the 7 Most Dangerous Criminals Released By Wisconsin's Liberal Supreme Court Candidate
Janet Protasiewicz under fire for light sentencing record ahead of Tuesday's election
A cold-blooded killer who burned his victims’ bodies. A felon accused of murdering the niece of a Milwaukee politician. A domestic abuser who gunned down his ex-wife.
These criminals had one thing in common—they were repeat offenders who preyed on their victims after receiving lenient sentences from liberal Wisconsin Supreme Court candidate Janet Protasiewicz.
Protasiewicz’s conservative opponent, former justice Dan Kelly, has argued that her light sentencing record raises questions about her judgment. The high-stakes election, which will take place Tuesday, April 4, will determine the ideological breakdown of the swing state's top court and could have national implications for the 2024 presidential elections. Spending in the race has already exceeded $40 million, making it by far the most expensive state judicial election in U.S. history.
During Protasiewicz's time on the Milwaukee Circuit Court bench, she let off dozens of domestic abusers and child predators with little or no jail time, according to court records reviewed by the Washington Free Beacon—and many of them went on to commit new violent crimes.
Here are seven of the most disturbing cases:
1. Lazarick Spade
In December 2015, Spade escaped from a prison work-release program—where he was serving time for felony child abuse—and assaulted his estranged wife on a public sidewalk in Milwaukee. He pushed her to the ground and punched and kicked her, causing a fracture to her face.
Protasiewicz Sentence: Six months jail.
Aftermath: Shortly after he was released from prison, Spade ambushed his ex-wife outside her home in Milwaukee and shot her multiple times to "get even" with her for reporting the prior assault. She survived but lost a lung and suffered permanent injuries. The victim told the Free Beacon that the shooting likely wouldn’t have happened if Protasiewicz had given Spade a more serious sentence—and said she doesn't think Protasiewicz deserves to serve on the Wisconsin Supreme Court.
2. Antwone Eichelberger
In March 2016, Eichelberger flew into a violent rage and strangled his girlfriend after accusing her of infidelity while he was in prison. The victim managed to flee and barricaded herself in her apartment by "wedg[ing] a chair in front of the door" to keep Eichelberger out, according to court records obtained by the Free Beacon.
Eichelberger broke into the home by smashing his fist through the glass door and "began punching [the victim] repeatedly." She was eventually able to escape by running barefoot "over the shattered glass, which caused the lacerations to her feet," and hid in a neighbor’s apartment until police came.
Protasiewicz Sentence: Probation.
Aftermath: Three years later, Eichelberger was charged with felony battery after punching his girlfriend repeatedly in the face, breaking her nose, according to court records.
3. Elijah Combs
In 2016, Combs strangled his girlfriend and punched her multiple times in the face, bloodying her nose and breaking her tooth, according to court records reported by Wisconsin Right Now. He also "kicked and stomped on" the victim "all over her body." Afterward, he ordered her to "clean up the blood that was splattered throughout the area" and wouldn’t let her leave the house "because her face was so messed up."
Protasiewicz Sentence: Six months in the House of Corrections.
Aftermath: Combs—who killed himself in late February after leading police on a car chase—is suspected of murdering his girlfriend Aliyah Perez, the 26-year-old niece of Milwaukee Alderman Jose Perez, in a shooting in February.
4. Matthew Neumann
In 2015, Neumann was arrested after brandishing a gun and threatening to shoot his wife, according to Fox News.
Protasiewicz Sentence: Probation.
Aftermath: Three years after he was sentenced, Neumann murdered two of his cleaning business employees after a night of drinking. He burned their bodies in a firepit on his property. Neumann’s daughter said she overheard her father say he killed one of the men over a pack of cigarettes, according to reports.
5. Kenneth Wright
In 2020, Kenneth Wright, 28, was arrested for sexual assault after impregnating a 15-year-old girl.
Sentence: Probation.
Aftermath: Less than a year after his sentence, Wright was charged with killing a teenage girl in a drunk driving accident.
6. Kenneth Blair
In 2018, Blair was charged with sexually assaulting 3 children aged 7, 8, and 11.
Sentence: Probation.
Aftermath: Three years later, Blair was charged with assaulting one of the same children, although the case was reportedly dismissed due to issues with the criminal complaint.
Sentence: Probation.
Aftermath: Bounds was arrested again last June for possessing a firearm as a convicted felon. The case is still open, according to records.
Police: Florida Man Stabbed Mother of His Child 100+ Times Before Tossing Toddler into Lake Where Alligator Snatched Him
A Florida man is accused of killing a mother and their toddler son after the child’s body was found in the mouth of an alligator on Friday.
St. Petersburg police arrested 21-year-old Thomas Mosley once they found two-year-old Taylen Mosley’s body at Lake Maggiore, a location that is over ten miles from where his mother’s body was discovered, 10 Tampa Bay reported Saturday.
The 20-year-old mother, Pashun Jefferey, was found dead inside her apartment on Thursday, per Breitbart News.
Now, Mosley is charged with two counts of first-degree murder but reportedly has no bond at the moment, the Tampa Bay article said.
A mugshot shows the suspect below:
Jeffrey’s family visited her home on Wednesday to celebrate Mosley’s birthday. When they left the residence that afternoon, Mosley, Jefferey, and the toddler were the only people still there, the outlet continued:
Almost four hours later at around 9:03 p.m., police say Thomas Mosley arrived at his mother’s home with “severe lacerations to both of his hands and arms” that closely aligned with the same injuries of someone who was involved in a knife attack. He later admitted himself to St. Anthony’s Hospital.
The murder investigation began the next day when officers responded to Lincoln Shores Apartments, off of 4th Street North, after Jeffery’s family voiced their concerns about the 20-year-old and said they saw blood on the sidewalk in a path leading away from her apartment, the affidavit reports.
Relatives contacted the apartment’s management who eventually got inside the home and found Jeffrey’s body. Once they arrived at the scene, officials noted they found “in excess of 100 wounds” on the woman.
When speaking of her during a press conference, one family member said, “She’s very outspoken, always make you laugh,” while another recalled, “Smile, a beautiful smile all the time.”
Inside the residence, law enforcement found a bloody fingerprint on a cleaning bottle. The print was later identified as the suspect’s.
On Thursday evening, Mosley reportedly went to the Lake Maggiore area and then traveled to his mother’s nearby home.
When officers located the toddler’s body, they killed the alligator to retrieve it. An autopsy will determine the child’s cause of death as the investigation continues.
Taylen’s family is now sharing their grief over the tragic loss:
As of Monday afternoon, a memorial fundraiser to help with funeral arrangements and support the family has raised $31,910 of its $50,000 goal.
“To see them together and their love for each other was a blessing. We will remember their love and will keep them in our hearts,” the page said of the mother and son.
