You may believe whatever you like.

these cold blooded murderers convince psychiatrists and judges they they are a changed person and incapable of commiting similat crimes quite often, and they are released to prey on society again.

Need I remind you of John Hinkley Jr. that shot president Ronald Reagan, and Mr. Brady? Mr. Brady uas been in a wheelchair ever since.

Last week the judge decided to allow this man that tried to assassinate the president of the U.S. to impress Jodie Foster yo leave the grounds of the facility (he has been kept at for 20 years) unsupervized to visit his parents.

His parents are in their 80s and they are not able to stop him if he starts causing problems.

Two years ago; the psychiatrists said he was as dangerous then as he ever was. What happened somce then?
