Public blames judges for Pease killing

 Were Kootenai County judges too lenient with accused killer and domestic abuser Steven Denson?

Letters to The Press and streams of social media comments following the March 8 death of Kelly Pease — the ex-fiance Denson allegedly shot before taking his own life — suggest yes.

“Good going Judge Eckhart and Judge Stow, Kelly’s blood is all over your hands!” commenter Harold Komm posted on CdAPress.com. “History repeats itself, especially with what he did and there was evidence from clear back in the 80’s. Cant say that their was no indicators that he was violent, there was plenty of those”/Ryan Collingwood, Coeur d'Alene Press. More here.

Question: Do you blame the judges for being too lenient in this case?
