The latest case is that of Ken-Tweal Catts. A jury set him free in September after he was confined following his conviction for rape. On Wednesday, he shot a Dutchess County deputy while Catts was being charged with a rape from days before. He holed up for three hours in the county sheriff's department before shooting himself.
The law is aimed at confining dangerous sex offenders after their release from jail.
