My guess is that he is no longer "evil" at this point, but he does bear the burden of his past, and should pay for it. I am wondering if his life since then has produced any "good". I dont know enough about the guy, or whom he might have positively influenced.
From what I saw on Fox this weekend, he's still a piece of scum. According to sources at San Quentin, the guy has raped inmates and throws feces at prison guards. They didn't clarify if had done so recently. However, the officials at the prison do not agree that he's a good guy. He also ran the crips right from his jail cell.
