If anyone here is from Maryland, they probably compare this case to Terrence Johnson. Young mr Johnson was caught stealing change from a laundromat in '78. He was 15. While in police custody, he was able to get an officers gun and kill two of them. Justice was swift in PG county and the young Johnson was sent to the "Cut" for 25 years. Well throughout the years, all of the abovementined petioners petioned various courts to release the remorseful Johnson, and in the early nineties, MD did just that. Not a year later, Johnson was killed in a shootout with police after robbing a bank..
Yes, I remember that case very well. I was in HS when he killed those two cops and I am happy he got what he deserved a few years ago.
IIRC He was killed in the shootout only in the sense that when they had him surrounded he killed himself.
Same end result, no great loss.
Well, at least that story had a happy ending!
Too bad pizza delivery guys are prohibited from packing heat. :)

I don't know that story, but I sorta remember one about a guy who wrote a best seller while in prison. Think the name was something like In the Belly of the Beast. All these celebs made a lot of noise to get him let out of jail. I don't think he was on the street 24 hours before I killed someone.
Wish I could remember the guy's name. It was years ago.
