I too am suprised he served 13 out of 20 years. As a victim you have to fight numberous paroles to accomplish this. Been there done that. Our son Jeremy's killer will be released from a TN prison this Nov. He has "maxed out" his 20 year plea bargained sentence of 2nd degree murder at 13.5 years. We've fought 5 parole hearings and won. Now we are out of options, and this sociopathic killer will be released.

THROW AWAY THE KEYS

I have followed your story for several years. Our 'justice' system has turned into joke. My sincere sympathy and outrage at the system.

That said, if it were my son, the perp would walk the streets a very short time.

Very touching, I wish I could say something to soften your grief. Saying that most politicians are more concerned with appearing compassionate than seriously addressing the issue of violent crime probably won't help.
