LANSING, Mich. - A campaign mailing from the Michigan Republican Party blames Democratic Gov. Jennifer Granholm and the state corrections director for a crime spree that resulted in the deaths of three people.

The brochure has a photo of Patrick Selepak, who pleaded guilty to killing Melissa and Scott Berels of New Baltimore and Winfield Johnson of Genesee County's Vienna Township in February. The headline says: "This violent criminal was mistakenly released into your community."

"Governor Granholm and her state prison director. If they can't do the job, why are they still on the job?" the brochure says.

Selepak had been mistakenly released on a parole violation shortly before the killings because he had not had a hearing within 45 days. Several parole workers were disciplined, state rules were clarified and the corrections department has started a reorganization.

State Republican spokeswoman Sarah Anderson said several hundred thousand mailers were sent statewide.

"Nobody's saying Granholm did this on purpose," Anderson told The Detroit News for a story Thursday. "Nobody's saying she put this murderer on the street. But as the state's CEO, the buck stops with her."
