That isn't speculation, those are the facts we have so far.
So the parole board released someone with a major history of violent crime, who has previously violated parole, and who had the vast majority of the risk factors they themselves had previously identified for committing homicides while on parole.
I think it's pretty speculative to say that was a defensible course of action - this is someone who was going to re-offend. It only made the news because it was a spree of murders and not just another grab bag of assaults and robberies.

I'm not ignoring anything. Thise 15 points aren't considered by parole boards, are they? I don't know and you don't either.. They don't have limitless power and can't just keep someone in prison if they've met their parole conditions. Did he? Again, we don't know.
It sure seems like he shouldn't have been released but that's doesn't matter. The law states who gets released and unless you can prove the parole board didn't follow the law they did their job.
I'm being pendantic but it's pretty annoying seeing people judge the justice system based on what they feel it should be and not what it actually is.
