When a judge sentenced Albert Flick to prison for assault in 2010, he said Flick would be too old to pose a threat by the time he was released, despite a history of violence against women. 4 years after release, Flick was charged in another woman's death.

Albert Flick, with attorney Allan Lobozzo, was convicted of murder this week.Four years after his release, Flick was charged in another woman's death.Flick, 77, was convicted Wednesday of the murder of Kimberly Dobbie, 48, in July 2018. Police said he fatally stabbed her outside a laundromat in Lewiston, Maine, while her 11-year-old twin sons watched from a few feet away.He had pleaded not guilty. Flick's attorney, Allan Lobozzo, has not responded to calls seeking comment.

Despite his record, the judge in the 2010 case cited his age when sentencing Flick to about four years in prison, nearly half what prosecutors had recommended. "At some point, Mr. Flick is going to age out of his capacity to engage in this conduct, and incarcerating him beyond the time that he ages out doesn't seem to me to make good sense," Crowley said at the sentencing hearing, according to court documents obtained by CNN affiliate WGME.
