Why was this man held for all this time?
Are you always this gullible when you read an article in an MSM publication? The Houston Chronicle (deliberately) left out quite a few important bits of information like the fact that he beat the crap out of the 87 year old woman after breaking into her house then he stole the TV. He was just charged with burglary, but he did a lot more, and he had a long criminal record. He also wasn't a choirboy in prison. That's probably why he didn't get released on parole previously.
