ATLANTA (AP) — A woman stabbed to death in her suburban Atlanta home had pleaded with a judge not to release her ex-husband from jail, saying she feared she would not survive if he was free.

The ex-husband, 58-year-old John Stephen Kristofak, was apprehended Thursday at a Union City motel and charged with murder in the death of his 48-year-old ex-wife, Donna Nations Kristofak.

In October, Donna Kristofak begged Cobb County Superior Court Judge Adele Grubbs not to release him from jail, saying she feared for her life and worried that a court order of protection from her ex-husband would not keep her safe. He was later released.

The judge said she couldn't comment on the case, but told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution (http://bit.ly/TlZ070) that "you cannot predict human behavior."

The judge said that people asked a similar question after 20 children and six adults were gunned down at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newton, Conn.

"After Newtown people ask, 'How can we stop someone before they do something?,'" Grubbs said. "We don't do that."

To become a judge, one has to first be a lawyer. To become a lawyer one's soul and conscience is mortgaged to Satan. He'll never miss a wink of sleep.

I am appalled! When do the abused get heard!??

Apparently not even after being murdered, with the comments by this judge..."you can never predict human behavior" are you kidding me???? Donna knew her ex husbands behavior and she told it to the person who was supposed to protect her!!! Shame on that judge, she is a disgrace and I hope this haunts her forever. Donna was murdered and the judge helped it happen. Now her sons have NO parents! Donna should have been protected! I am furious!! This is so wrong abused women and especially women in FEAR OF LOSING THEIR LIFE MUST be heard!!!
