School Shooter Seeks Parole After 25 Years in Prison

[@user-hk5bj4yj9t]

At the end of the day if someone says they have voices in their heads. Probably the wise thing to do is not grant them parole.

[@kenlompart9905]

Especially when they said that's what got them there in the first place.

so we should lock up everyone with schizophrenia instead of getting this guy some treatment and medication? Oh wait, it's the US so it's impossible to coordinate that because you don't have public healthcare...

If that’s the case then he shouldn’t have been in prison in the first place due to insanity.

Never. Release. Him. From. Prison.

[@erinhuggins1779]

I think he needs more medical and psychological care in a secure facility than to spend another 25 years in prison. He's definitely not ready to be with the public, or be a benefit to society, but that doesn't mean he doesn't deserve to get better.

[@jennifergraceh]

I agree completely. He should be released from prison into a psychiatric hospital where he can receive treatment for his ongoing mental health issues. I guarantee he hasn’t received adequate, if any, psychiatric treatment since he went to prison. If he is still hearing command voices regularly, he is likely suffering from some sort of psychotic disorder and needs to be in a hospital setting where he can receive proper care. I’m not at all saying he should be released into the public-he shouldn’t. But, he should be sent to a long term, institution.

I totally agree. Denying somone the opportunity to change seems wrong, so put percautions into place where he can try but not do much damage if he does anything more, and maybe someday he can live somewhat of his life in society.

Only situation he should even be considered for parole is if he opened fire hitting people but didn’t end up killing them or leaving them disabled for life. Ontop of that he’s still hearing voices and clearly still struggling mentally? How is this even a question keep him in prison

it’s easy to just keep them in prison instead of them getting help huh. you think prison has therapy sessions and medication testing? how can we rehabilitate him if the prison is so broken? people forget that jail/prison is meant to rehabilitate and help them back into society

[@SandyHoward-Woodward12]

I have a dear dear friend who’s 35 and I’m 54, and he’s schizophrenic and bipolar and I’ve seen him get violent and turn into something that I never ever want to see again. He became like the Incredible Hulk and was hearing voices and I was petrified. I’m a big woman at 5’10 250 and he is 6’4 320 and he could have snapped my neck so easily. But as long as he takes his meds he’s the best person and I call him my adopted son. Being around someone who hears voices and gets violent really made me change my mind about schizophrenia but I don’t think he should ever see the light of day either.

**UPDATE** On September 26, 2022, the parole board unanimously denied Carneal's bid for parole and ordered him to serve out the remainder of his life sentence. The "serve out" ruling, under Kentucky law, means the inmate in question cannot be considered for any future parole hearings. This means Carneal's life with parole sentence is now effectively a life without parole (or "whole life") sentence.

[@GregLopez75]

Yeah, he needs to be permanently placed in custody.

[@raysavell8984]

3 deaths and irreparable injuries and he wants out after 25 years... he's really not remorseful

[@tomk4484]

Not sure he actually wants out; He admitted he still hears the voices. I suspect he is afraid of living outside now, knowing he may not be able to support himself and would end up out on the streets.

[@tomk4484]

To be clear, though, either way I don’t think he should be released.

[@raysavell8984]

He wants parole so how does he not want out...

[@6636j]

@@td.adigee not an excuse. What he describing was not an episode, at best he could have been suffering from perpetrator PTSD, because he remembers what he did, he knew it was wrong, and it's his brain attempting to cope with his trauma. Hence his convenient "blackouts" during the shooting. Point is, he's a liability. There is no way to be certain or not he'll have another episode, his next victim potentially could be you, your family, or anyone's family. Which is why he needs to remain where he is.

The fact he admitted it makes me feel sorry for him. If he truly meant to do any harm at this point in his life, I don’t think he would have said he hears voices. Clearly makes it tougher to be let out and sounds more like a cry for help.
