fuck... he KILLED somebody. he shouldn't ever be free and neither should anyone else that planned and killed someone. either kill them and save the money, or lock them up together on an island and start a reality show. yes, 27 years is normal. why others with the same crime are getting out, I don't know...but they shouldn't be. (pretend you're nutz first) and Imagine knowing that if you finally knocked of that person that you've always wanted to knock off, you would be out of prison in 20 years. That would make it much easier to pull the trigger.
