According to the court documents, the then-31-year-old defendant se-ually assaulted and beat a little girl, fracturing her skull with a shovel in broad daylight. However, despite saying his goal is to ra-e others, the court has failed to deliver justice for the second time. The serial ra-ist, Madden, reportedly confessed to raping a woman and biting off a chunk of her face, which landed him in a mental institute where he continued his savage behavior by launching a series of violent and se-ual attacks on staff members.
Dr. James released the following statement: “Madden stated his goal was to be placed in a community where he could kill and ra-e the first female he came in contact with. (He’s) threatened to ra-e and kill his sisters, licking peers’ doorknobs and expressing that he wants to have se* with them. Cane can also be destructive and be abusive towards animals.” Dr. James also confirmed that Madden was stating he wanted to grab a 3- to 6-year-old and have se* with them.” Despite Madden promising to continue his reign of terror as soon as he was freed, Judge O’Connell decided the defendant was mentally incompetent to stand trial. Disturbingly, Madden was released back into the community where he made good on his promise to do violence.
“Mr. Madden lacks the intellectual capacity to understand his basic Constitutional rights,” the judge concluded, adding that he was “unlikely to regain competency in the foreseeable future.” Just 24 hours after he was released, Madden attacked an 8-year-old girl in her front yard. He confessed to hitting her in the head with a shovel and fracturing her skull before raping her. The child suffered internal bruising and tearing, indicating that she had been se-ually assaulted. Although Madden has repeatedly confessed to his charges and threatened to commit further crimes, the same judge who dismissed his case the first time has once again dropped his charges in the case against his 8-year-old victim, citing his inability to stand trial for the second time. Judge O’Connell dismissed charges of first-degree ra-e, first-degree assault, and first-degree robbery.
Madden was mandatorily institutionalized after his first ra-e but was released because he didn’t meet the state’s requirements for involuntary hospitalization. According to the state law, individuals can only be hospitalized against their will if they are believed to benefit from psychiatric treatment. In Madden’s case, doctors don’t believe he can be helped. “Mr. Madden is incompetent and unlikely to gain in the foreseeable future because of his intellectual deficit,” Judge O’Connell said. “It’s clear from reports he’s a danger to himself and others as well.” The community fears that they will soon see Madden on the streets. Some have warned that if Madden isn’t dealt with in the courtroom, mob justice will prevail. Judge O’Connell told the court that violent criminals like Madden can’t be hospitalized for treatment unless they’ll benefit from it, even if they’re considered a danger to society.
