What happens to him now in the justice system - if he makes it there - is a completely different question and I'm baffled how a bunch of you have conflated these two things. Safe to say, I'd say future parole is a million miles away from any relevant consideration at the moment.

I believe I misunderstood the context of the situation as being then vs now.

For sure - agree with the option for reintegration, and there is strong historical data that supports it. With the right support system and strategy, I very much support that over locking people up and over reliance on policing rather than balancing with support.

We obviously don’t have the full story on what happened here and whether all proper precautions were met. Clearly even if they were, exceptions do happen. The severity of this one is hard to stomach.
