Of course, in hindsight, we can say he shouldn't have been released but we don't have all the facts that the parole board had at its disposal. We also don't know what happened to him after his release that caused him to go on a killing spree that is far beyond what he's done in the past.

I dont think you need hindsight to say that someone who has committed over 50 violent offenses is likely to continue committing violent crime. The odds on bet wasn't that he murdered 11 people, but it wasn't that he re-integrated into society as a productive caring person either. The odds on bet here was that he breaks into someone's house and assaults them. The fact that he murdered that person and 10 others wasn't as predictable - but this is a man who should have been behind bars.
