Betty Bonds was stabbed to death while her then 9-year-old daughter Stephanie, now 22, watched, said Tara Frazier, head of victim services for the corrections agency.

He should have been executed.

Crime ping!

Why, oh why do we parole these people? Parole should be abolished. They should serve the sentence unless PROVED innocent.

[I still care]

I simply don't understand the reasoning that anyone that willfully and viciously kills someone should EVER walk the streets again. He should have been executed, or at least life without parole, especially with a 9 year old girl watching. I don't know how people who do this EVER get out of jail. It is sickening.

As a matter of fact, I am surprised that he served as long as 13 years. Wife murder is often downgraded to 2nd degree, and jail terms of 6 years are quite common. Of course, if he is under stress, or mentally "not responsible" then he goes to the asylum for a few short months.

I guess we will have to wait until "LIFETIME-THE TELEVISION FOR WOMEN" makes the movie, so we can get the truth.

Family members have expressed concerns about Charles Bonds' release, saying he has threatened Stephanie and her aunt, Floy Graves, from behind bars.

That doesn't sound like "good behavior."

[goldstategop]

He gets out while his daughter's mom is buried. (For good behavior behind bars. <sarcasm) So much for justice in this country.

A big part of the problem is jail space. The parole boards are always looking for candidates to release to make room for new prisoners. After they go through the lesser crimes, they start releasing the more serious ones.
The likelihood of the parolees commiting another crime is very high, and at that time the victim's family should sue the board.
I've never heard of that happening and there is likely a law preventing it,but a judge somewhere (probably Kalifornia) will someday rule that it can happen. A few mulit-million judgements and the practice will end. Same scenario with psychiatrsts that deem a criminal no longer a danger and recommend his release.

One of the State's primary responsibilities is the protect the citizens. Law enforcement should be funded before all else. If it takes incarcerating half the population to do it, so be it.

Justice seems to have little to do with our judicial system. Anybody who stabbed his wife to death in front of her daughter doesn't warrant a second chance. When this fruitcake stabs the aunt or daughter I'm sure that the officials responsible will be held accountable /sarcasm.

I watched a program on TV last night where a billionaire heiress up here in Virginia hunt country shot her live in Argentenian, polo playing, lover to death. She ambushed him while he was eating breakfast and reading a magazine. The jury found her guilty of voluntary manslaughter and sentenced her to 60 days in jail. She still lives in the area. As I said, justice and "the system" have little in common.

You think the DNC will elect him Chairman now?
