Was he given a chance at a GED, vocational training, or housing or job prospects while in prison? What happened?

How did anyone think that someone without a GED, vocational training, or housing or job prospects was a candidate for successful early release?!

There are millions of people in this world who are impoverished, uneducated, hungry/starving, mistreated, abused etc yet they don't engage in violent crimes and commit murder.

No, we have Charlies Allen and the woke folks at the restorative justice, hugs for murderers as punishment, city council. Fking idiots.

Maybe a e should start hugging murderers. Because prison isn’t working. It’s time to try something else.

Sure. How about you move in with the family of a fatherless child, of which statistics show a glaring dearth in some communities, and instill values such as discipline, self control, delayed gratification, respect for authority and basically not shooting people because you feel like it. However, that’s not going to happen, so instead to try and even historical injustices and a terrible American legacy, the city council has simply chosen the path of lowering the bar. Now everyone else who doesn’t commit murders has the pleasure of playing Russian roulette on a daily basis. I mean even more than they already do. So keep your idiotic platitudes.

Then stop havng babies with these thugs. Women ha e choices, this poor child.

Right, but this person already had been in involved a murder, so it was known he was violent. It’s one thing when you hear of people who got caught up in violence when they were young and used the time in prison to better themselves and think they have earned another chance to be a productive member of society. But if someone has spent decades in prison and never got a GED or vocational training, and had no plan for housing and a job upon release, it should be a red flag that this person is not ready to be released. Not every juvenile murderer should be automatically let out after 15 years just because of their youth at the time they killed someone. There needs to be a deep dive into what this person has done to better themselves and what their plans are post release.

PP here. I agree with you and didn't make my point very well. I was trying to say that when people at any age engage in a violent crime, I think there is something amiss emotionally and that violent criminal behavior cannot just be explained away by circimctances, no matter how difficult.

Did Charles Allen account for this deep dive in his restorative justice/leniency bill?

Absolutely not. He said the judges would be a backstop against something like this happening. Then he hamstrung the judges with a list of things they could consider. Their original crimes cannot be considered. He chastised one judge who dared state that maybe a convicted rapist should not be released.
