TLHLIM

It’s pathetic honestly

That guy more than deserves to dig his own grave and take a dirt nap in it.

Never should have seen the light of day again
 

An animal like this should have been put down after he killed that little boy.

It should have been done in a violent way.
I know they elected Bashear, but was this even a particularly left-leaning prosecutor or parole board in Kentucky?

Anyway, these are the cases I do find hardest to figure out the right solution for. If a jury did find him criminally insane and he spent 8 years in prison, is there never a point at which they could just be ready for society? I’m not talking about the 3 month trips to underfunded facilities that release problem children and commit 20 crimes, but someone who had a psychotic break and has spent years doing the work to improve. Do we want to reform people and have a productive member of society instead of a burden to the taxpayer or do we just want blood no matter what?
 
Not at the cost of a young kid, ever
The kid is dead no matter what. Keeping someone in prison until they die when they could instead contribute to society after having been treated, reformed and educated across a decade or more in prison won’t change that fact. I get that there’s a lot of gaps in the process when it comes to how we handle the prosecution and imprisonment of the criminally insane, but we still should at the very least have some semblance of what we should do if we actually succeed at correcting someone inside a correctional facility.

There are lines you cross that you should never be given an opportunity to come back from.
There are also circumstances that might change how that line is drawn. As of right now, our legal system includes provisions that allow for those deemed insane to have a lesser degree of culpability for their actions. As long as that’s the case, I do think it’s worth figuring out how we should navigate that process.
 
Also, I don’t know the circumstances behind the case, so I’m not advocating for this outcome. I’m just questioning the logic of saying it cannot be possible for someone to be rightfully released from prison after many years of recovery and reform.
 
Literally hopeless. I’m now aligned with you thst our goal should be to make voting as hard as possible. Someone who thinks a child killer can ever be rehabilitated should not be voting.
But people do actually get rehabilitated sometimes! We can argue over how likely it is, or whether it’s morally acceptable to release them even if they are, but there are absolutely cases of people who committed heinous crimes that turned their lives around.

He stabbed a child 10 times through the head.

The system you support got his crime reduced, he served 10 years, and now is back

I mean just stop with your ridiculous empathy dude. He should never see the light of day and I dont care why he committed his crime. I will bet you any amount of money he will commit a future crime
