Marshals, please take Mr. Shefelbine into custody
That’s the quote from Judge Stanley T. Fuger Jr. when he ordered the bail of Scott Shefelbine revoked.
In his ruling, which came at noon, Fuger said he found the parents’ testimony not believable. The judge said he believed Shefelbine and his parents fabricated evidence and conspired to lie in order to keep him out of jail.
Shefelbine’s mother sobbed. He showed no emotion, stood and faced the marshals and held out his hands.
I’ve seen mothers in denial about their kids before but Mrs. Shefelbine takes the cake.
Since Shefelbine’s bail was revoked doesn’t that mean that his family loses that $1.5M that they posted? If I was on the verge of losing $1.5M because of an ungrateful son maybe I would fabricate evidence too.
But let’s not lose sight of something. Shefelbine should have had his bail revoked a long time ago. He was arrested multiple times for pretty much the exact same thing. His bail should have been revoked after his second arrest. The first arrest of his that I posted about was back in October 2006. Why in God’s name did it take 9 months to finally get him off the streets? And why is no one asking these questions to Conn. Attorney General Richard Blumenthal? You know him, he’s the guy who started all the MySpace hysteria. He likes to brag about how much he does to keep Connecticut’s children safe yet a serial pedophile like Shefelbine is allowed to walk free.
Maybe I’ll have to ask him that question myself.

I don’t think so. Bond is just an assurance that the person will show up to trial. The Shefelbines keep their money cause Scott will go back into custody. It revoked his temporary freedom, not his bail money.
Anyone in Connecticut that wants to run for AG need only highlight this travesty to coast to an easy win.

“Since Shefelbine’s bail was revoked doesn’t that mean that his family loses that $1.5M that they posted?”
They likely provided a bondsman with 10 percent, or about $150,000. Depending on the arrangement, much of that may not be refunded, but the bondsman will get his stake.
