I would be curious to know how the victims family and friends felt about this.
Chances are they are deceased thus making it easier for Blanco to release him without any backlash from the family.

Time for Blanco to place her apron back on and go make cookies like a good granny. I think that is all the woman can do.

The thought of Blanco releasing such a murderer chills my blood. Nobody is above our justice system, especially a governer or president. You really get to know what a politician is really made of during their last few days in office. |

But mankind and society also has its laws and murder is right up top of the bad list. I would agree to letting out white collar criminals or drug criminals before freeing murderers who may have turned their lives around while in prison. I'd even agree to let Edwards out first. But compassion doesn't stop with the inmate. I also have compassion towards wouldbe victims. The loss of an innocent relative is undescribable. I pray no one ever has to experience a sudden death to a family member. And how about the inmates compassion towards his role as a convicted murderer in society? Surely he doesn't want all such inmates to be released? Just himself right? Or does he? Now if it is proven that he physically cannot commit another murder or violent act, due to a physical illness or stroke, etc., then sure let him out. But as long as he is capable of murder, I see no reason to erase all the work of the court system, prosecuters, judges, juries, evidence, sentencing, etc. that work so hard to deter crime and maintain relative peace in society. |
