theres a lot more worse and fucked then letting a criminal get his law degree... | He really isn't a "clever" crook who methodically planned this murder.
He was a muscle building roid monkey who was gay, and worked at the door at various downtown clubs. Apparently he was furious with his friend and caught in a gay love triangle. The violent murder was done as a result of this. If you ask me, he used considerably less brain power to scheme this than the finance crooks on Wall Street so I'm not sure what worth he'd have as a lawyer.

well.. i was not directing my statement to him, but in general..
I dont know this guy, i didnt bother to read his story but what I say was for the general ex-cons...
There are some people that killed someone and regretted so they turn their life around.. If he kills again, then I say he doesnt deserve a Third chance..

There is no love triangle. What shocked me most is that this guy is back to leading a semi-normal life after 2 years in prison. Sure this will chase him forever, but c'mon...2 years!?

You sir, do not understand the purpose of the justice system

Sometimes I think that we put too much focus on sending people to jail for rehabilitation instead of punishment.
Yes, eventually criminals need to be rehabilitated as they will not be in jail forever. But, these people still need to be punished.
2 years in jail for murdering someone? I think its pretty fucking pathetic...

You sir, do not understand the purpose of the justice system | You fail to understand that jail is also about punishment. If the "costs" of committing a crime are low, you'd expect more people to commit that crime.

Hmm 2 years for stabbing a man to death 33 times, so that works out to be 11 days in jail for every stab he inflicted on the dead guy...
What I find ironic is that he's going back to study law :P
