Last Friday, police say Mixon strangled her.

So who allowed this violent repeat offender to keep posting bonds and leave jail?

That would be 228th Criminal District Court Judge Frank Aguilar.

Strange blames Harris County’s criminal justice system for her daughters murder.

"Exactly, I’m not afraid to blame," she said.
