I just read up on what his father and mother did. Even though he's old as dirt now, can't say I would celebrate his release. Pretty grim crime scene.

David Gilbert exhibited zero remorse during trial. He refused attorney representation in order to make some kind of point about being a "freedom fighter".

40 years is enough.

It seems to me that the parole of Chesa's father is akin to opening an old wound only to throw salt in it.

Lots of people who have been victims of crime do not support the crazy sentences that the United States has. Just so you know. Not all victims seek vengeance for the perpetrator especially after a significant amount of time served.

What does keeping him in prison for decades accomplish? Will it bring them back?

Survivors of harm get to react how they want to the crimes that stole their loved ones. They are not expected to forgive and forget. The state’s criminal justice apparatus is not well-served if vengeance is the only value served. Mr. Gilbert is rehabilitated. He should be free.

David Gilbert is an old man. He isn’t going to be shooting up Brinks trucks. If someone isn’t a threat to society, does it really make sense to spend 50-60 grand a year locking them up?
