"I have at least three cases where they released violent predicate felons with ankle bracelets," Ms Thomas told the outlet. Ms Thomas told the outlet that the parole board had already considered Ms Sorokin’s online activity when they cleared her for release in February, but that a judge ruled in October that she should remain detained.
