Read all about it A man who bludgeoned his girlfriend to death with a cast iron skillet was set free by the parole board in his state after only serving 5 years, brutally murders again, and this is news? It should be a justice system revolution. The parole board states that this is an "unusual case" and that parolees don't "generally" commit crimes of this extreme when set free. Not generally? Gee, I feel safer... Besides, parole board dude, I don't imagine you have a lot of Le Creuset killers to begin with. And the case underscores the greatest injustice of the 20th and 21st centuries; while we have insisted on incarcerating a 19 year-old woman carrying 5 pounds of cocaine for the rest of her life, we'll let a brutal killer walk free in 5 years. I'd have loved to be a fly on the brain of this parole board when they pondered his release..."Gee, I'm sure a homicidal skillet killer can change in 5 years; it's not like he used a gun..." Tell that to his three newest victims, bludgeoned with a claw hammer, strangled, and stomped to death, in that order.
