X amount of time away from your crime does not excuse his crime.

Also, was a SWAT team in full gear really necessary to go pick him up?





SWAT teams are necessary for everything. How else are all the wannabes gonna get to play dress up with all their cool shite and pretend to be Seal Team 6.

Why do you want to pay for this dude to live for 13 years? He's supporting himself and his family legally, not leaching.

ALL convicts are leaches, they are not sentenced to hard labor anymore. They lay around get fed, housed, and medical care for free.

Following that logic, why imprison anyone that has a job?

In the eyes of the law it often does through statutory limits.

It's a tough one, but why didn't he call the state to confirm or whatevs.

Didn't read through all of the commments. My vote is to have this guy do a lot of community service or something.

Missouri fricked up....but if he has really turned his life around....why send him to jail?

Well obviously this dude's situation is not the standard. So why treat him like the standard.

He is rehabilitated, what's the point of incarcerating him?

On the point of incarcerating anyone? I could write all fricking day about what convicts should be doing instead of lying around all day, but that's for another time.

Suck's for him. Kudos on turning his life around.

He still committed armed robbery.

The point of incarceration is twofold:

1. To rehabilitate the individual into becoming a productive member of society.
2. To prevent the individual from harming others.


Both occurred without the expense of taxpayers for 13 years. Everyone wins in this case, IMO.

So what's to stop some other convicted felon from saying "well that guy did just fine, I'll do that too?"

The DA has to put the guy in jail IMO, but the governor should pardon him right after.

There's also an element of punishment involved as well. I definitely don't think he deserves the full 13 years, but I would be in favor of probation with a crap load of community service.

well this was a case where this happened by accident due to the mistake of the retards working for the state. Its pretty clear this isn't a issue that would be happening all the time to where it becomes a slippery slope. Also in that hypothetical situation the felon has no proof, while this guy has 13 years worth of proof that he has changed.

Huh?

I'm not advocating for all convicted felons to be released. I'm saying its pointless to put this guy in jail.
