The brother and the children of the killer could not even acknowledge the essence and gravity of what the killer did to the victims family. The daughter even said that she has never thought about the victim and his family until now...how is that?
The fact that the killer had held a child hostage, shot at another and exchanged the hostage for another, the fact that he had so many hours and opportunities to have called it a halt, how about the fact that he had been in and out of prison many times in the past 10 years.
He definitely sounds remorseful now because he has had more than 30 years in prison to think about his actions but has he really changed?
An intelligent and articulate man, all that should have been used to be useful to himself and society but all went downhill.
He has already been given a reprieve by his sentence being commuted from death to life. I don't think he should be paroled.
