The Connecticut man who lost his wife and daughters in a brutal home invasion in 2007 said Wednesday it was 'sad' one of the killers had his death sentence revoked to comply with new state laws.
Dr. William Petit was tied up in the basement of his New Haven home during the July 23, 2007 attack and almost beaten to death. He could only listen as his wife was raped and murdered by Steven Hayes. Petit managed to flee to a neighbor's home as his daughters perished in the fire Hayes lit.
'It is a very sad day when a prolonged trial and decision and sentencing by a jury that took 4.5 months to seat is overturned by a legislature that ignores the wishes of the people of CT,' he said in a text message via Twitter on Wednesday.

This is way beyond horrible!!!
And now the murderer can vote RAT. Hillary must be cackling.
There’s a special place in Hell for these people.
Connecticut is one screwed up state. Leftists control it and you can see it in industry fleeing (GE just moved to Boston), taxes already high and being increased, a phony “Vietnam veteran” as senator, and crazy judges. A real bunch of clowns run that state.
The left always sides with evil.
Hickenlooper did much the same here in CO in 2013, but regarding one specific notorious local case.

Many liberals are a mystery to me. The only crimes that anger them are thought crimes against Political Correctness.
Dr. Petit is running for the state legislature this year as a Republican. I’m unable to find a campaign website. Here’s an article:

Libs always find a way to come to the aid of murderers and rapists.
These murders,and torture,were about the most frightening things I have ever read.
.
Catholic bishops are absolutely, 100% punctilious about issuing statements calling for the death penalty not to be used, no matter how heinous and perverted the crime. They somehow manage to overlook most of the appearances of pro-abortion politicians at Catholic colleges.
This kind of thing might make one look kindly on summary judgement in certain cases.
Honest to God I don’t know if I could keep my sanity if this happened to my wife and young daughters. My hat is off to him merely for staying productive as a healer.
We don’t have a justice system; we have a legal system and there is no justice.
And Obola and the DemonCraps want to strip us of our guns so we can’t defend ourselves against subhumans like these two and the Muzzie pig turd that just murdered 49 innocent people.
These bastards raped an 11 year old girl and then burned her to death. Giving them a lethal injection would be more mercy than they deserve.
Always...
Always.
Yep. I can’t believe he didn’t put a gun to their heads himself
Roger that.
Rom 12:19 Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.
God’s vengeance involves eternal merciless torture in hell and the lake of fire, so yep, they’ll get theirs. In spades.
The piece of crap killed white women. There’s no outrage over that. But if he had said a racial slur the guy would have been hanged.
Felons in CT cannot vote.
