Besides being a classy demonstration of intellectual and moral consistency, it would be a two-fer for American justice.

The U.S. has more legitimate case in the incident you mentioned (Sheinbein is his name, I think) than in the case of the Palestinian terrorists who are being released. In the case of the Palestinian terrorists, they committed crimes against U.S. citizens in a foreign jurisdiction -- in the Sheinbein case, the crime was committed by a U.S. citizen (I believe) against another U.S. citizen, here in the United States. He subsequently fled the country to avoid standing trial in Maryland for his crime.

He fled to Israel because Israel will not extradite a Jew anywhere for any cause (or so I understand from the news accounts--I'm not a lawyer).

I'm not familiar with the Sheinbaum case, but as for the Paliterrorists, the US has traditionally exercised the right to try killers of US citizens overseas under US law.

Send the bastard to Guantanamo.
