I am so grateful to the Parole Board. I'm also grateful to everyone who has supported my father during his more than 4 decades behind bars.

I’m thinking about the other children affected by my father's crime and want to make sure that nothing I do or say further upsets the victims’ families. Their loved ones will never be forgotten.

And I am thinking of the other people inside who have worked so hard to transform their lives and hope one day to return home.

And I'm thinking of all the people on the outside who should be on the inside, if only you'd prosecute them.

while there may be some argument to that, lengthy sentences not only cost society more, harsh sentences have no positive effect on crime rates -- long sentences do not reduce crime ratespic.twitter.com/XxuIluGEsC

We didn't give Scott Peterson a life sentence to reduce the chance he'd kill another pregnant wife, bud. We gave him a life sentence so those other 100 guys who were contemplating killing their wives would think twice about. Deterrence is the point.

did it work or is it just a comforting narrative that makes you feel safer?
