How is this good news that murderers are being made eligible for parole?

After three decades in prison?

I guess you're a big fan of life sentences?

I'm not sure if America is capable of producing good news these days, and I'm not sure this fits either. To me it reads like just another story of "US justice system is fucked, every instance of justice boils down to the whims of some random judge"

killing their own parents for

...being sexually abused by the father and ignored by the mother for years.

The entire second trial was a farce and a miscarriage of justice due to the ignorance of the time. Please do not perpetrate the same ignorance in 2025.

Worse thing that could happen by freeing them, for the sake of argument and nothing more, is that they'll go around persecuting child molesters. Oh no. Keep them in.
