released!?!?!?!?!?

Please tell me you're kidding. Life without parole, I would be fine with, but released?

People have been incarcerated for life, and executed for far lesser offenses than murdering 4 people in cold blood.

It costs us far more to execute people than to just keep them in prison for the rest of their lives. We can't even prove that the death penalty is an effective deterrent. People still kill each other, don't they?

If he has truly reformed, good for him. I don't think he should have gotten the death penalty in the first place, but it's absurd to think that someone can atone for murdering four people, and starting one of the most violent enterprises in the world that corrupts a good portion of our youth, just by writing children's books.

He can write all the books he wants, and do all the good he can--from inside the walls of a prison. He can never fully atone for taking the lives of four innocent human beings, however.

So basically...I thought he should have gotten life in prison without parole to start with, and I really don't care what he's done since then to enrich lives--the only way he should be leaving prison is in a casket when he dies.
