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.
But then, I ask, why didn't he land his butt back in prison after the first offense after he was let out? Seems like if you cut a deal to get your parole WAY early, any conviction - in any state should be grounds for going back under the original sentence as well as anything tacked on for the subsequent offense.
