Judge Blocks Release

Former Burnett County resident Adam Hess, 23, was scheduled to be released from the Mendota Mental Health Institute this week.

However, on Wednesday, April 1, Judge James Babbitt blocked this release and ordered Burnett County's corporate counsel to petition for Chapter 55, protective placement and guardianship for Hess.

Hess was placed in Mendota Mental Health Institute after Judge Gableman accepted Hess’s plea of not guilty for reasons of insanity after he allegedly exposed himself to a girl in the public bathroom at Crooked Lake Park in 2002.

If Hess is not insane and used the insanity defence to get off, then he's surely getting what he deserves.

Perhaps this will work in the favor of the elderly and vulnerable.

Guardianship wards have no rights, but prisoners do - and so do perverts.

Hess' incarceration might bring guardianship abuse to light.

Very creative way of keeping society safe from Adam Hess.

Good - anything to keep this guy away from society is great.
