So try to kill a Republican president and get paroled but, kill a socialist progressive icon entertainer and no chance of getting out.

It’s not unusual for a schizophrenic to avoid using medication. IIRC, it is illegal in this country to force someone to take medication. I don’t know about Canada.

celebrity-seeking nature of the crime. What about the celebrity factor in granting parole?

Denied parole 9 times? Let’s make it 20 times.

When I have free time I always pay at least a quick visit to Central Park when I visit NYC.On my visits to the memorial across from The Dakota there’s always at least a few people there and usually quite a few.
To: Sacajaweau
But the guy who shot Reagan is released and running free in Virginia. He was found not guilty by reason of insanity.In that situation the doctors treating him in the psych hospital can,IIRC,cause his release by declaring him "cured" or "no longer a danger to himself or others".

You should have been hung.
Life in prison forever.

I doubt it. John’s killer came from Hawaii to murder him...he could just as easily have found him in England. I am honestly surprised that Chapman survived in prison, given the popularity of who he slaughtered. Poor John.
To: freepertoo
Sure, he could have found him in England. But, it would have been another step in the way. Dunno, how easy it would have been for him to find a gun in England. He could have used any other tool. John should have been deported long ago.

It's a travesty of justice that he even comes up before a parole board. Here's my thought.
When the folks they killed get a parole, the perp can have one.

36 years in prison in New York State is extremely long - he may be one of less than a handful of 1980 murders serving past the 25 year minimum.
Where is Amnesty International on this American political prisoner. Oh, yes they are heavily $upported by Yoko Ono, so they look the other way.

I like the way the way they handle insanity pleas in the state of Georgia: guilty but mentally il. The defendant is sentenced to time in the state mental hospital. If he or she is successfully treated and is no longer mentally ill, then the send ant is transferred to a regular prison to serve out the sentence.
To: riverdawg
send ant = defendant. (I hate autocorrect.)
