Oh yeah. Them's BIG media outlets. Let's see if this disgusting story is still headline news a year and a half from now, like the Zimmerman/Martin case. I'm taking bets because it's a sure thing it won't be. The only reason the Zimmerman case is big news is because whites have the audacity to think that the murderer, an adult white male, should be allowed to kill an innocent black teen. The black kids in Atlanta are going to jail......no question.....there will be no stand your ground or self defense BS. They will 'hang' because they are black and the victim was white. Not so with Trayvon Martin.

LA County to challenge release of sex predator ................................................... By TAMI ABDOLLAH, Associated Press, July 9, 2013 sfgate.com LOS ANGELES (AP) — Santa Clara County Superior Court Judge Gilbert Brown granted convicted serial rapist Christopher Evans Hubbart, 62, a conditional release from custody in May. According to the district attorney's office, Hubbart has acknowledged raping 40 women in California between 1971 and 1982, including 26 women in Los Angeles County. A public defender representing Hubbart could not be reached for comment. Hubbart was 21 when convicted in 1972 of sodomy, rape and burglary in Los Angeles County. He was committed to the state prison hospital at Atascadero and paroled seven years later. He moved to Sunnyvale and worked in a printing shop, but soon began attacking women again. "He committed rapes, sodomy, and forcible oral copulation in San Francisco, Sunnyvale and Santa Clara of more than 23 victims at a rate of over two victims a month until November 1981," the writ states. In 1982, Hubbart was convicted of false imprisonment, rape, and forced oral copulation in connection with the series of assaults and sentenced to 16 years in prison. Hubbart, however, was paroled in April 1990. Two months later he was arrested and convicted of false imprisonment for an attack on a jogger. His prison term was due to end in January 1996, but he was instead admitted to a state hospital under a then newly-enacted law that allowed sexually violent predators to be civilly committed for treatment. Santa Clara County Deputy District Attorney Vonda Tracey said Hubbart's release is the final phase in a multi-step treatment process that ends with a conditional release in the community under the supervision of Liberty Healthcare Corporation. The decision to release Hubbart was made by a panel of professionals at the state hospital who have followed and analyzed his progress. For now, Hubbart remains at Coalinga State Hospital while officials search for his housing. Officials will have monthly hearings to discuss whether housing has been found for Hubbart. If it can't be found within a year, Tracey said, there is precedent for a judge ordering a "homeless release," which would be "a nightmare from a public safety standpoint and a supervision standpoint."
