I think the point Captain_Obvious is making is very clear: How can any scientist put any percentage chance to a future event taking place that is not measurable from past events? 100% chance the sun rises tomorrow is easy to explain. The so called formula used to determine 0.8% chance of committing another crime should be clearly explained. I think those odds are too high and he should never be free. Are the odds the same in the first minute after taking his meds as they are 8 hours later?
An event taking place .8 out of 100 times are fairly good odds if you get the right payout.
Would you guys still be supporting his day releases if he killed multiple people?
I have many other questions:
What do you guys think about people that murder while drunk or on drugs and they are addicts? If alcoholism is a disease, do they too get let out in the same way? Are there any cases of a crime this violent that had similar results? Should addicted criminals be released once they are sober? Or do they get charged with standard jail sentences and then released?
Are pedophiles thought of in the same way?
