Cop-killing suspect got drug treatment, not longer sentence a longtime Dakota County judge... he has always given serious consideration to treatment options in cases where a convicted criminal has battled drug or alcohol addiction.... “At the time, I felt society was better off with him being treated than with him being warehoused … and put back on the street untreated. Of course, if I knew then what I know now, I might have made a different decision.
Fitch rarely landed in jail long for other offenses. Instead, his record reveals a string of plea deals, dismissed charges, treatment options and suspended prison sentences that would take effect only if he violated probation....“It was clear Fitch has a history of violence, hatred toward police officers, and was going to do anything, including murder, to avoid capture,” Ramsey County Attorney John Choi said Friday.
