[@karagandrk]

​@@piccochrOne of them here. 49 years old now and if I could go back in time, I would change a single step I took at my 14s that ruined my life. I didn't kill anyone. I just decided that is was a great idea to try a very addictive drug when I was spending my time in a nightclub. I knew what I was doing and, at the same time, I couldn't imagine the consequences. It's a downfall and you'll have to work really hard if you want to climb back to the top. I've spent the last 20 years trying to make it, and I still have a lot of work to do.

After a 45 minute taped interview he tried saying the gun accidentally went off .... after all that he took it to trial was found guilty and nearly got the death sentence ,.....

Well if you Google what he did it was armed robbery on a gas station so quite a cold killing.

[@msxmurda2385]

lee hollebon Actually, he callously murdered a man during a robbery who was working a crappy job at a gas station just trying to support his family. So, yes...I’m judging him as a POS and anyone else that thinks they can kill people and spend a few decades in jail and walk free. I usually would respond to a moronic comment like yours, but your comment is beyond retarded, so I felt I should tell you to lay off the drugs/alcohol and get your life together.

[@why-why-whywhywhy]

Going by the old adage/proverb “If you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all” I will now put my thought’s/comment to rest. *Permanently!!!*

He has not nailed anything. Is journey's not even Begun yet.

[@dowtingtomas.695]

@@stevenhensman2541 wrong. Philosophically speaking his „journey“ began when the universe began, or maybe before. confine the discussion to what he has experienced in life, It began over 60 years ago. and he said he will „die“! He stated an „absolute truth“. So , he did in fact „nail the finish“🙃 Now don’t you have spirits to tell that they did not „die“ ? Poor bastards will be wondering why they fell over, shat themselves, and can’t go to work in the morning 🌅.

[@midatlantic09]

@ertznay I'm not so sure about that. It's not uncommon in CA for people to get 50 to life or even 150 to life sentences so his sentence could just be a 30 to life and he just hasn't been paroled yet because of the nature of his crime.

[@jennianelli3016]

In regard to the rest of the comments in this post I think the silent majority have had enough of governments, SJW's and ex-cons making excuses for criminals with little regards to victims.

why is "life in prison" only a 25 year sentence? shouldn't life in prison mean your in there till you die.

[@stuwest3653]

Because 25 to life is different than life without parole, idiot.

[@user-nv8nt6gm2d]

In canada, 25 is considered “life sentence”. I watched a crime show about Canadian man murdered in USA and his Canadian family wanted the trial to take place in USA because they knew his killer would get a harsher sentence here.

[@neilmaverick7035]

Great to see the system in place and he is doing his time as handed to him

[@jerryoshea3116]

The last question was a little odd( to say the least) And I think he did well to maintain a certain demeanour! and answer the way he did! And i'm hardly in a position to pass judgement on whether he deserves to be paroled after such an long time( we didn't have the details of his crime) but I do hope he has changed his ways!( In a positive manner of course!)

Many of these long term prisoners look younger than they are. I can only think it’s because they don’t have the day to day stress that most people have. Also they don’t get a lot of sun, which proves that sunbathing does age one’s skin.

@@vincentgiasullo Murderers who are released are the least likely to reoffend, I’d say he’s served his time. Prison is designed to keep dangerous people out of the general population.
