I am very sorry to hear the murderer is out. I didn't know.

A friend of mine was murdered, along with both parents, when I was in high school. Their murderer (who was the older brother) was found guilty only of voluntary manslaughter, sentenced to 10-25 years, eligible for parole after eight. He was released in 1999, only because his sentence had finally expired. He served the full 25 years. Which is something, I guess, but how bad of an inmate do you have to be to not make parole in this day and age?

I have been expecting to hear he's killed someone else for five years now.

Crimes committed in prison (rape, assault, murder...) should be elligible for additional time in prison.
