No-show convict
gets more jail time
WHITE RIVER JUNCTION — A convicted drug dealer who tearfully thanked a judge late last year for allowing her to spend a last weekend at home with her two young daughters before beginning her sentences — and who then failed to show up at the jail the following week — will spend an extra month or two behind bars as a result.
Rachel Quirion, 29, of Springfield, was eventually tracked down, arrested and began serving her two-to-four years at the women’s prison in Chittenden County in late February, but last week she was returned to the courtroom where she pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor count of contempt of court resulting in an additional one-to-two months that will be served consecutively once her present sentence is completed.
Quirion was one of 36 suspected drug dealers arrested in Springfield and Ludlow a year ago during the “Operation Precision Valley” drug sweep, and in December, she pleaded guilty to felony counts of sale of heroin and sale of crack cocaine.
At the time of her original sentencing, Quirion had asked Judge Karen Carroll to delay her report date to the jail because she only got to see her children every other weekend and wanted to “get her affairs in order.” Quirion had wiped away tears as she thanked Carroll for allowing her to return home for the weekend in exchange for the promise to report to the jail the following Wednesday morning.
“I will serve the time I got,” Quirion said at the time.
Judge Karen Carroll needs to stop being so soft on these people who are peddling drugs in our community!!! Ms. Quirion should not have been allowed an extra weekend, she should have made better choices and then she wouldn't be spending the next 2-4 years in jail. People arrested for dealing drugs should not be given low bail, that way they can't make bail and get out of jail to violate conditions and sell more drugs. Judge Karen Carroll DO YOUR JOB and help protect the communities you serve or leave the bench!!!
ReplyDeleteWill judge Caroll EVER learn that these scumbags are not honest with their promises? Haha, I make myself laugh
ReplyDeleteNo surprise here. Judge Carroll hard at work freeing the perps once again. Now she will probably allow this clown out early if she comes up with a lame excuse. "Your honor, I has a hangnail. Can I gets out early?" "No problemo"
ReplyDeleteI might suggest Judge Carroll do a field trip outside the security bubble that is the Upper Valley. Maybe stop off in downtown Newark at 2 a.m. and see how long she lasts. If she made it back I suspect she would be singing a different tune.
ReplyDeleteThe "judge" needs to be removed from the bench.
ReplyDeleteThis judge should be held personally responsible for anything this person does while not in jail!
ReplyDeleteSad thing that the Tuition kids ( Kyle & Rachel) had to grow up this way. Their mother Candace is better known in Springfield as "Crackhead Candy", they never stood a chance. But you make your own decisions once your 33. Judge Karen needs to come to Springfield and go out on a nightly trip with one of our many addicts, then maybe she can see what's really going on.
ReplyDeleteAh, our kinder, gentler justice system at work. Just another present for a perp while the rest of us abide by the law, endure the rigors of the workplace to earn a living, and pay the inflated taxes that are then ultimately used by government to turn back around and abuse us in this manner.
