POLL: Should a Judge Allow a Sexually Violent Predator to Live in Manila?

This Wednesday, May 7 at 10:15 a.m. in the Humboldt County Courthouse, convicted serial rapist Richard Stobaugh will appear before Judge Caleb Kockrum for a community placement hearing.

Stobaugh, who has been legally deemed a sexually violent predator, is set for conditional release from a state hospital and a residence on Peninsula Drive in Manila has been proposed as a place of residence for him, which has raised fears in the community. Humboldt County Sheriff William Honsal has stated his opposition to the placement. 

What do you think? Should the judge allow Stobaugh to be released into Manila?
