This week Behind the Headlines sits down with Lisa Carter, whose husband William Beal, was killed nine years ago in a bar altercation. The man accused of beating him to death, 29-year-old Eric Falardeau, had charges against him dropped after a judge determined he was not able to stand trial due to a low IQ. The Department of Mental Retardation won’t hold him either, saying he doesn’t fit their qualifications. Today he’s free.

Carter says there’s a hole in the system that needs to be fixed.

    Ms. Carter joins a long list of victims who unfortunately have fallen into a system of situational ethics. We no longer live in a society that is seeking justice but rather how the law can be manipulated to benefit the offender. The end of this is that someone was murdered and the perpetrator will not face society via the court system for his crime. My heart goes out to Ms. Carter and her children as the years will go by and this will always be unresolved for them.
