KIRT BARREN GREENBERG

KIRT BARREN GREENBERG


OK, here's the deal. If you use the Maryland Case Search link below it will take you to this guys criminal history. I have provided just a small example of what we're dealing with as a community. HOWEVER, as I rarely ever challenge the judicial system, I'm going to do so, two fold.
Number one, why did it take Joel Todd almost an entire year before he charged this guy with child pornography? BECAUSE ITS AN ELECTION YEAR! More importantly, (secondly) why are Judges these days NOT seeing the writing on the wall with these kind of criminals? We have experienced some of the most horrific crimes the Eastern Shore has ever seen, perhaps even in the history of America. Doctor Bradley in Delaware who allegedly raped hundreds of infants and young children and then Thomas Leggs who was released time and time again only to be arrested and charged with the murder of Sarah Foxwell.
Now I'm no Judge and I'm no States Attorney but I am raising a small child and scumbags like Kirt Greenburg need to be taken a whole lot more serious than they are as we have seen the end result of the judicial system not working for us. The system is clearly broken but I say, shame on Joel Todd for NOT charging this man IMMEDIATELY and waiting until election time to bring forth such a case. OUR children have been at risk for almost a year for his convenience.
Again, there's a criminal history that goes into a second page on this guy that clearly spells out the trouble he's seen with the law over many years. There's a pattern here and I personally believe it needs proper attention.

Top shelf information Joe. I believe Mr. Todd has some answering to do here.

J.Albero said...

A good States Attorney would have filed charges within two to three months, not 11 months. There is no excuse for this delay, seriously.

I have spent some time on this matter, asked for several opinions and there's no question in my mind that Joel Todd is using this as a campaign tactic. WHO BETTER TO HANDLE SUCH A CASE, if you know what I mean. I'm also not too happy with his standing in front of the Court House on a video showing his support to Norm Conway. Joel should also know better than that. And yes, my name is on my comment.

Todd just lost my vote. I was a part of the search for Sarah Foxwell and I never want to experience such a thing again as long as I live. RIP Sarah.

I've been wondering why Leggs' wasn't held without bail when he was charged with the burglary in Ocean City last year. The handwriting was on the wall that Leggs' perversions were exploding. He was getting undressed in front of the victim AND was already a convicted sexual offender for Heaven's Sake.

Anonymous said...

Or atleast $100.000 bail instead of a whooping $10,000. Then in a show of how "tough on crime" the Worcester County judicial system is, he was sentenced to the max (3 yrs) for 4th degree buglary. I wonder how many other repeat offenders are sentenced to the max for 4th degree burglary???? One things for sure if the defendant's name wasn't Thomas Leggs he's be back out walking our streets!!!

Chimera said...

Oh wow.A sex offender who kills helpless dogs trolling at the mall for new victims.Someone needs to put him away.
But while we areon the subject,why hasnt Wicomico County done anything about Tom Croes?He has a lengthy history of being a sexual predator to young boys and no one either complains or he gets off with a slap.Again,can we please just ship all these freaks to an island where they can molest each other and leave normal society in peace?

Joel Todd needs to get the titty out of his mouth and become a real states attorney.. hes a p###y

@1239pm

because we protect our criminals. heaven forbid we get sued by the ACLU for actually enforcing our laws. besides, innocent until proven guilty right?

i for one have never liked the "innocent until proven guilty" theory. think of the damage that couldve been saved if they released information about bradley the first time or even the information on leggs. reasonably sane people understand that sometimes we have to MAKE SURE you are innocent until proven guilty.

Anonymous said...

Looks like the warrant for this guy was issued on 7/14 and served 2 days later. The 8/10 entry must be for when he was indicted by a grand jury.
Either way his bond was set at ONLY $25,000 FOR 30 COUNTS of child porn. What in the hell is up with that? Someone named "sheila greenburg" posted it on 7/17 and he was released. I'm suspecting that's his mother. She needs her head examined also!

Anonymous said...

Want the judges to start acting instead of downplaying? There should be a law enacted that if a judge releases a convicted child sex offender back into society with any thing less than the maximum sentence and the person reoffends the judge is also committed to prison for being an accessory to the crime.

Making excuses for any one that harms children is unacceptable. This is our country, our children, and our communities so why is it the judges and cry baby activists are the ones calling all the shots that jeopardize our families?

Kirt is nuts! Ask the Berlin PD about this psycho. Worcester needs to elect Oglesby!

Anonymous said...

Anon 1:24 the judges aren't totally to blame although they do have the ultimate authority in imposing a sentence.
Alot of times plea deals and sentences are hammered out by the prosecutor and defense attorney before a trial even starts. If a prosecutor feels a defendant isn't given a severe enough punishment it's up to them to argue why.

I feel sorry for Joel Todd. Whyzie's totally dominating comments on his campaign Facebook. You know he got to be taken' gas-LOL!

We'll get a second chance to get rid of Todd this November. Don't blow it, Worcester! Elect Beau Oglesby!

Joe has made a good argument that Todd is using this case for political points.

That alone should see him lose the election.

Thank you

I know Joel Todd and respect him personally and professionally. Worcester County is a safer place with him in charge of that office. He bent over backwards to out the Benjamin and Erica Sifrit away. He takes crime seriously. He has my vote.

Only one word come to mind - WHY!!! I wonder if Mr.Todd has children? This story is horrible from both angles. The sick criminal and a sicker attorney that knew what this man was capable of. SHAME on you Mr.Todd!!!!!

Anonymous said...

OMG Anon 3:36, Practically the whole state was keeping an eye on the Sifrit case, so of course all involved were going to bend over backwards!!!!!!!
Now how about the same names I keep seeing over and over and over on MD case search that are allowed to plea to a lessor charge or whatever then are released back into society? What do you say about that? Do you think a convicted sex offender found standing over a victim's bed with his pants down around his ankles should have been released on only a $10,000 bond? Or this latest degenerate charged with 30 YES THIRTY counts of child porn released back into society with only a $25,000 bond?

Anonymous said...

Oh Wow, I wonder why this has struck such a nerve with this J Robinson person?

Ironshire said...

I'm currently doing some research on the Sifrit case... There was some strange goings-on with that case and where it was tried. I've filed a FOIA request and, if and when it's answered, there might be some interesting findings. Stand by.

**Kirk was LIVING right behind the Buckingham Elementary School...all he had to do was walk out his back door and had a view of the school playground....YES he was sick person and who knows what would have happen if not for a simple complaint handled by Worcester CBI which lead to the discovery of his sick child porn issues....Another one they let slip thru until an election year...JOE you are right..Nothing hear from these political bums until an election year...Kirk is another Leggs time bomb waiting to explode!!!! ...Why was he out anyway when he mistreated this animals...WHY WHY WHY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This same situation is playing out in Wicomico and Somerset as well. These states attorneys get all hyped up at election time and want to act tough, but in reality they have sat back and plea bargained 90% of the cases for the last three years. If you look at these serious offenders, past, run in's with the law, you usually find that they have many charges that have been nolle posse or stet dockted. That is the SA's decision and has nothing to do with the judges. It never get in front of a judge because the SA is playing judge and jury. All three SA's need to be replaced in November and give some new blood a chance.

Animal abusers become serial killers. What a sick bastard! Anyone who has child porn is sick and will move on to acting on their sick impulses. I wish I could personally kill them all!

Suprised to hear you complain about Judges. If you're not part of the solution, which you are extremely partial, you're part of the problem. Personally, that would keep me up at night. You without a doubt know how corrupt the system is and have been chosen and provided with the tools to do something about it. Hope you haven't forgotten right from wrong or the people you're in a position to protect. Its your duty Joe. Doing whats right isn't easy, but nothing thats worth a damn ever is... Don't let down all the American heroes that have answered their call to duty.

What an evil person Todd is, putting his selfish job security in front of childrens safety. I've not heard of much worse but not surprised. And will he punished for the high treason, of course not because he's one of the democrat/republican club.

Chimera said...

The Sifrits exploits got more attention because it was "good Tv".No fewer than 3 prime time crime programs have aired about it and it gave alot of police and others face time.Child molesters and animal abusers arent as spectacular on the screen.What a shame this ass isnt in prison already.

Thom Gulyas in Berlin, MD said...

Well I read this with great interest. I also had two residents who live on West Street contact me about this as well. They are concerned for the children of Berlin and wanted to bring this to my attention. I also am concerned because I have a son and, like others, don't want this monster out on the street anymore than the rest of you. However, that being said, I took it upon myself to contact the Worcester County State Attorney's office and ask "why?" I'm not a lawyer and quite frankly, I'm sure most people responding here are not either.

I was told that the State Attorney's Office does not make the charges...the police do. The computer with which these types of "individuals" use cannot merely be opened and view the garbage that is on there by the arresting officers. In order to make the case stick, it has to go to a forensics lab in Maryland which there is only one to service the whole state and Baltimore City. The police cannot charge the individual until this is run through the lab hence the long wait. Time...can be an enemy of the citizens abiding by the law and a friend of those who break it.

What this "individual" can be charged for is the crap that he sent to an FBI agent acting as a pervert. This is only one of the many ways they catch these people and justice can be more swift.

It stinks. I don't like it. But that is the system we have to work under now. Neither Joel nor any other State Attorney could change this and make it go faster. It just does not work that way.
