I think it's too early to start the Monday morning quarterbacking. Parole exists for a good reason. Plus, if someone gives the appearance that they've changed and is no longer a threat to society, then so be it. Trying to say in hindsight it was a bad decision to parole this individual condemns all parolees (unless the parole board made visible mistakes). I would bet that the vast majority of parolees don't end up in this manner.
