A prosecutor in Florida is justifying the release of a man previously considered insane, who is now accused of stalking and murdering three tourists near Disney World soon after his release.

State Attorney Monique Worrell explained that 29-year-old Ahmad Jihad Bojeh was set free under Florida law after mental health experts concluded he no longer posed a threat. Both the prosecutors and judges had no legal grounds to keep him detained.

“This individual followed the legal procedures,” Worrell stated. “Once he was no longer deemed dangerous, the law prevented any involuntary commitment.”

Worrell further noted that Bojeh was supposed to continue with outpatient treatment but failed to comply due to financial constraints. “It appears he was out of compliance because he couldn’t afford the care,” she mentioned.

The victims were identified as Robert Luis Kraft, 70, from Holland, Michigan; his brother Douglas Joseph Kraft, 68, from Columbus, Ohio; and James John Puchan, 69, also from Columbus. (Information provided by family)

Authorities say Bojeh later watched three men from a neighboring home as they waited outside a vacation rental for roadside assistance, then approached and opened fire, killing all three without provocation.

The victims – brothers Robert Luis Kraft, 70, of Holland, Michigan, and Douglas Joseph Kraft, 68, of Columbus, Ohio, along with their friend James John Puchan, 69, also of Columbus – were visiting Central Florida to attend a collector car auction. They had extended their stay after experiencing rental car trouble and were preparing to leave when they were shot.

The killings have renewed scrutiny of Bojeh’s prior violent history, including a 2021 case in which he was charged with attempted first-degree murder after allegedly firing a gun at a person and at random vehicles at a gas station.

In that case, Bojeh was found not guilty by reason of insanity and later released under conditional supervision.

Critics, including Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier, have argued that the insanity defense and conditional release system allowed a violent offender to return to the community unchecked. He has called for narrowing the insanity defense, saying it has become a loophole that puts the public at risk.

“Across the country, we see violent criminals getting to walk free, back into society, because of insanity defenses,” Uthmeier told Fox News Digital. “We won’t tolerate leftist prosecutors releasing murderers and violent criminals to hurt our families.”
