Alex Kelly is no David Pollitt
One of the two crim justice stories of the day was the impending release of Alex Kelly, who is finally done serving his time for two 1986 rapes. He was in court today to find out whether he would be released despite the fact that he has not yet paid the $10,000 fine levied along with his prison sentence.
Mr. Kelly didn’t get that much needed promotion working in the commisary, so he didn’t have quite enough to pay the fine prior to release and being a 40-year old man, his parents weren’t going to pay it for him. Luckily, the Judge decided that he couldn’t be held past his maximum discharge date and that he would have to pay the fine as if it were restitution – on a weekly or monthly basis during his probationary period.
Alex Kelly is famous for several things, notable among them the 8 year period he spent on the lam in Europe, making wine while absconding from Connecticut. He is also famous for sitting somberly through his parole hearing a few years ago and upon hearing that parole was denied, losing it and yelling at the board members.
Meanwhile, the Governor’s phone has been silent. Maybe she passed the time watching that awful, awful movie about Kelly.

Despite the possibility that the parents financed his getaway, you have to feel for them. Both of Kelly’s brothers are dead, and now they have to help their middle child rebuild his life after his rape conviction. Not the way I would like to spend my golden years. Hopefully, Mr. Kelly (and Mr. Pollitt) will lead law-abiding lives from now on.

How can the people of CT say he is not anything like David Pollit…He RAPED two YOUNG girls! and maybe even more for all we know! he just was not cought!I too hope that they are able to begin to live a healthy life, From what I read I think david will do better, His family is there for him and willing to do anything to keep everyone safe. This guy will run again because he is too good for all this. I hope the news treats him as poorly as they have Mr.Pollitt and his sister. Lets see if his parents buy the state off??? and the media? HE is just as bad as pollitt, He just has more money
