I think about the times I almost got caught doing stupid things when I was a kid. If I’d gotten caught it would have changed my life. And not in the good way.
That’s the problem with our penal system and how we treat people. I’m not saying I have a better idea - yet - but sometimes people don’t fit the mold. They actually grow up. Looks like it’s possible this guy did. I’m also thinking there should be a statute of limitations on this sort of thing. Say, 30 years. Just thinking out loud.
i think about it too and i don’t know the answers. I just figured out how to get the flame to come on my stove without a match :)

What we have here is a failure to communicate. Most in prison deserve to be there. The lesser ones stay in county jails and work farms for easier and shorter sentences.
