Two victims expressed their anger after an Ohio man who confessed to a series of violent attacks in Cleveland was recently released by a judge.

Serus Walters, 20, admitted on May 19 to attacking three men, according to records from the Cuyahoga County court. Judge Cassandra Collier-Williams downgraded Walters’ felony charge to a misdemeanor and freed him after considering the time he had already served.

One of the victims, David Dudley, a 64-year-old attorney from Los Angeles who was in Cleveland on business when Walters attacked him on May 29, 2024, told WOIO he was perplexed by the judge’s choice to release Walters on Monday.

“I was fairly certain he was trying to kill me,” Dudley told the outlet.

“Despite the severity of the offense, counsel submits that GPS monitoring would be sufficient to ensure the safety of the public and of the alleged victims,” the defense attorney wrote.

Walters was most recently arrested again on Wednesday, just two days after his release, for a minor offense in Garfield Heights.

Fox News Digital has reached out to Triozzi, Collier-Williams’ office and the Cuyahoga County Prosecutor’s Office for comment.
