Norma Page, 28, was murdered in 1979.

Accused killer unfit for trial demands release from jail
Public Defender's Office says Steve Bronson Jr. held illegally in Osceola County Jail
February 23, 2012

KISSIMMEE Fla. More than a year after his arrest for Norma Page's 1979 murder, Steve Bronson Jr. might be released from jail as early as next week, court records show.

Declared incompetent to stand trial last year, the aging sex offender remains held without bail in the Osceola County Jail's medical unit.

His lawyers at the Orange-Osceola Public Defender's Office claim his continued incarceration is unconstitutional and that the murder charge against him should be dismissed. A hearing is set for next Thursday in front of Circuit Judge Scott Polodna.

Objections to the possibility of Bronson's release have been voiced by Page's survivors and extended family, who support legislation requiring criminal background checks on nursing home residents.

Page, 28, was the wife of a minister and mother of two young sons when she was stabbed to death in their St. Cloud home. Bronson, now 62, was not identified as a suspect until 2010 when his DNA matched specimens found at the murder scene. He confessed to the killing when questioned by St. Cloud police in December 2010.

A previous order by Polodna assigning Bronson to the state Department of Children and Families for residential treatment was overturned by the 5^th District Court of Appeal because Bronson had been diagnosed with untreatable progressive brain damage, records show.

Where Bronson might live, if released, remains in question.

More than 60 nursing homes refused to consider accepting Bronson last year after learning about his still-pending murder charge. Crippled by a stroke in 2003, Bronson requires around-the-clock care.

While Bronson has two daughters, neither has spoken to him in years, according to interviews.

Attorney Laura Klossner of the Public Defender's Office said Bronson's placement will be up to DCF. The state agency's Adult Protection Unit must respond to the jail within 24 hours if an inmate incapable of caring for himself or herself is being released, she said.

DCF spokeswoman Carrie Hoeppner said, "If a call to the Florida Abuse Hotline is generated re Mr. Bronson, it would be handled no differently than any other call re a vulnerable adult who is at risk of being harmed or lacks the ability to protect themselves from harm."

I mean, you're right, LC. We should just put a bullet in his head and leave him at the end of the driveway for the garbage collector.

Who knows who'll ultimately care for him?

I'm sure his family doesn't want any responsibility, nor do we the taxpayers.

BTW, he's the OLDEST looking 62 I've ever seen.

every single state is faced with an aging cockroach population that requires nursing home care! just like this guy. guess who pays? can't dump him at a homeless shelter, and nursing homes won't take him due to his history and danger to others.

I don't think there is a simple solution.

Perhaps turn all their care over to the family of their victim. Let them pick what treatments he recieves and where he spends his last months. It could become a game to see who could be kept alive the longest and the winners get some sort of prize.

You are right.

Glad Elvis didn't live. I suspect he would look something like that guy by now.

That man is a useless human being. They say all people have worth, but I just don't see it. Anyone you can't trust is a worthless human being. I hope people think about that when they are doing fucked up things.

Susan Atkins (Sharon Tate's killer) had cancer and tried to get out of prison on compassionate grounds. I think it's the right thing to keep them incarcerated. There was no compassion shown to the pregnant woman and her unborn child, part of the punishment is life, means you are in for life.

I actually admire your justice system, the way that you lock them up and throw away the key.

[Cracker]

Do you have as many horrible criminals as we do, aussie? I mean per capita.

Do you have as many horrible criminals as we do, aussie? I mean per capita.

I don't know about per capita. But it does seem you have many many unusual cases.

The thing here is, take this guy who killed his 3 kids by drowning them in the car on fathers day. Found guilty, he appealed got ANOTHER trial. Found guilty again. Arsewipe. He got 33 years!
That's 11 years per child. It's wrong.

There was a child killer last week that got out of prison. You hear it all the time. Not like the US, death row or life without parole.

[Cracker]

Maybe instead of incarcerating people for life at our expense, we should make them tattoo their crimes on their foreheads. Then people would be able to judge them instantly and society would decide who gets a second chance and who doesn't. If you don't like their tattoo, don't hire them or sell them a house close to a school or even talk to them. Let them pay for their crimes while they pay for their own food and housing.

They would all eventually end up in Detroit anyway.

Criminals shouldn't get Social Security or any other benefits provided by society because they didn't hold up their end of the deal.

I think they should have optional gladiatorial games for prison inmates, they spend half their time forming gangs trying to kill eachother anyway. Why not give them a way to do it save the prisons money on the up keeps,maybe paper view the events make some money for the states.
I think alot of inmates would be down with having a organized fight to the death with other inmates, and of course like I said they would volunteer for it no one has to do it.

As for old people that murdered in their youth and are draining the system of money, they should be euthanized like an animal.

Put him down like the dog he is. Problem solved.
