Wow. What an unusual story. Murdered three folks, putting 40 bullets in them, then got all that education . . .

Just like the murderous Bernardine Dohrn and Bill Ayers, the former "weathermen" who got off easy and are today showered with honors in nice, cozy academia. And what about Angela Davis? The list is endless. If there's anything academia loves, it's depraved killers.

I just wanted to express a word of thanks for your insight on this matter.
By reading the replies on this topic, you would think that our great nation is populated by people that are cold-hearted and unforgiving.

I myself have been in a similar, although less serious situation. I spent 3 years in a state prison for sexullay assaulting my fiance (we had both been doing alot of drugs)and now my life has been turned around due to several different factors:

1) God. I gave my life to him and he has helped me make dramatic changes.

2) The California State Prison System. It was a tough 3 years, but extremly fair.

3) The help of 2 very dear friends I met in prison, both convicted murderer's. Both of these men are in their mid-50's, and had commited their crimes during reckless portions of their lives. They are atoning for their crimes by living in prison, and serving as voices of reason in a sea of cacophony. Both of these men I am proud to call my friends, and would trust (have trusted) my life with.

We as a people need to remember that all people have the potential for good, as well as evil. Just because you have made a mistake (serious or not)does not mean that you are bound to continue making those mistakes. We all have freedom of choice, even in a correctional facility.

I feel that this man has successfully rehabilitated himself(no one can do it for you) and will continue to be rewarded for his dilligence to further the good of our society.
