For Your Consideration

Reference your editorial on June 2, Releasing Inmates Early Can Lead to Tragedy, as One Family Here has Learned.

 

I love your justification. "The board presumably made the best decision it could make based on the inmate's record, seriousness of offense, time served, disciplinary actions taken while imprisoned and programs completed while incarcerated."


What were they thinking? What are you thinking "seriousness of offense?" He killed a woman. He did not kill out of temper or fear. He killed her because he did not want her to testify in court. He killed her because he wanted her quiet and the only way to ensure that was to make her dead. He should have been executed. He should have been killed in the same manner in which he killed.


Look at reality. Beginning at 17-years he lived among animals for 33 years and you think there is anyway he can get along in society when he is 50-years-old? For 33 years he lives in a world kill or be killed, take what you want prison guards making decisions for him. What have you been smoking?

 

How about he moves next door to you and your family or the families of those decision makers?

 

The judicial system in this country is a joke. Life in prison should mean life in prison. The death penalty should mean death.

You are getting old when you just can't stand people who are intolerant.
