This man must never be let out of prison:

From wikipedia:

Moseley’s trial began on June 8, 1964 and was presided over by Judge J. Irwin Shapiro. Moseley initially pleaded “not guilty” but his plea was later changed by his attorney to “not guilty by reason of insanity”.[22] On Thursday, June 11, Moseley was called to testify by his attorney who hoped that Moseley’s testimony would convince the jury would that he was “a schizophrenic personality and legally insane”. During his testimony, Moseley described the events on the night he murdered Genovese, along with the two other murders he confessed to and numerous other burglaries and rapes. The jury deliberated for seven hours before returning a guilty verdict on June 11 at around 10:30 p.m.[16]
On Monday, June 15, 1964, Moseley was sentenced to death. When the sentence was read by the jury foreman, Moseley showed no emotion while some spectators applauded and others cheered. When calm had returned, Judge Shapiro added, “I don’t believe in capital punishment, but when I see this monster, I wouldn’t hesitate to pull the switch myself!”[23] On June 1, 1967, the New York Court of Appeals found that Moseley should have been able to argue that he was “medically insane” at the sentencing hearing when the trial court found that he had been legally sane, and the initial death sentence was reduced to an indeterminate sentence/lifetime imprisonment.[24]
On March 18, 1968, Moseley escaped from custody while being transported back to prison from Meyer Memorial Hospital in Buffalo, New York where he had undergone minor surgery for a self-inflicted injury.[25][26] Moseley hit the transporting correctional officer, stole his weapon, and then fled to a nearby vacant home owned by a Grand Island couple, Mr. and Mrs. Matthew Kulaga. Moseley stayed at the residence undetected for three days. On March 21, the Kulagas went to check on the home where they encountered Moseley. He held the couple hostage for over an hour during which he bound and gagged Matthew Kulaga and raped his wife. He then took the couple’s car and fled.[25][27] Moseley made his way to Grand Island where, on March 22, he broke into another home and took a woman and her daughter hostage. He held them hostage for two hours before releasing them unharmed. Moseley surrendered to police shortly thereafter.[28] He was later charged with escape and kidnapping to which he pleaded guilty. Moseley was given two additional fifteen-year sentences concurrent with his life sentence.[29]
In 1971, Moseley participated in the Attica Prison riots.[30] In the late 1970s Moseley obtained a B.A. in Sociology in prison from Niagara University.[31]
Moseley became eligible for parole in 1984. During his first parole hearing, Moseley told the parole board that the notoriety he faced due to his crimes also made him a victim stating, “For a victim outside, it’s a one-time or one-hour or one-minute affair, but for the person who’s caught, it’s forever.”[32] At the same hearing, Moseley claimed he never intended to kill Genovese and that he considered her murder to be a mugging because “[...] people do kill people when they mug them sometimes.” The board denied his request for parole.[33] Moseley remains in prison after being denied parole a sixteenth time in November 2013.[7]
