After Sandra Flick, 35, served her husband, Albert, with divorce papers, the couple often argued over custody of their 2 sons. When she requested Albert come to her apartment to remove his possessions, he stabbed her 14 times. Sandra's 12-year-old daughter Elise (from an earlier marriage) was on the scene and heard Albert say, "Now you've had it" as she ran to get help. (Pictured is a younger Sandra and Elise.) Flick, 36, was sentenced to serve 30 years for the death of his wife. Does that seem long enough under the circumstances?

Flick was released 9 years early for good behavior. But in 2008 he was jailed for stabbing a woman with a fork. And in 2010 in another case of domestic abuse he put a woman in a headlock and struck her repeatedly with the butt-end of the handle of a steak knife. When she knocked the knife away and ran, Flick chased her down the street with a screwdriver. At this point it could be claimed he violated his probation, committed felony assault, and tampered with a witness by threatening, "You'll get yours". Does this seem like a career criminal?

At Flick's hearing in 2010, his probation officer and the procecutor both pressed for an 8-year sentence because Flick's extremely violent behavior was ongoing. But a Maine Superior Court Justice sentenced Flick to just 4 years. Noting that the defendant would be 72/73 when released in 2014 he ruled, "At some point Mr Flick is going to age out of his capacity to engage in this conduct, and incarcerating him beyond the time that he ages out doesn't seem to me to make good sense from a criminological or fiscal perspective". Do you agree with the judge's theory?

After his release from prison, Flick became obsessed with former schoolteacher Kimberly Dobbie, 48, who was living at a shelter with her 11-year-old twin sons. Flick ate meals at the mission and followed Dobbie to the library, although his interest was not welcomed. Upset when he learned Dobbie was leaving town without him, he stalked her to the laundromat and stabbed her 11 times on the sidewalk in front of her boys. The murder was captured on surveillance video. Are you surprised that a 77-year-old man had the capacity to kill someone?

Albert Flick was tried and sentenced to life in prison. After Dobbie's murder, Elise, (Flick's stepdaughter, now 52), said, "I firmly believe this could have been prevented. There is no reason this man should have been on the streets in the first place". Do you agree?
