Smart was shocked to find out her captor would be released from prison so soon, saying last week, "I would urge the powers that be and anyone who works under them to really strongly reconsider this situation." http://abcn.ws/2NrkJ1d pic.twitter.com/uuruXMm98f
HAPPENING NOW: Elizabeth Smart holds news conference following the release of one of her captors. https://abcn.ws/2DfwPpx http://bit.ly/2NWXqvN
Why have they let her out?
She served the maximum sentence allowed by law because she was charged with both state & federal crimes. Her federal sentence allowed her to gain some credit towards her state sentence as time served. She should’ve been released in 2024. She’s not getting much of a break.
But she served her time and completed her sentence.
This whackadoo is released but there are prisoners serving 35 years for marijuana
The US cannot really call themselves leaders in this world anymore. This is insanity.
This is a huge miscarriage of justice!
Let her out and do the same thing she should be in prison for life!
So....she is now rehabilitated? She's all better and doing well? She will find a job and be self supporting??
