Do we fight unfairness with more unfairness?
 
What we don't know?
 
How many other crimes this guy committed after the sentencing and before he turned his life around?
Just because he didn't get caught doesn't mean he is innocent.
 
He robbed someone with a weapon.
 

So next question, if this was a child molester, rapist, would you feel the same way?

I don't disagree with anything you have said.
 
Child molester or rapist? I honestly don't know - but I think my opinion would be at least partially based on whether I believed they are a CURRENT threat to society. It is my understanding that the rehab rate for sex offenders is very low.

From what I've seen on sex offenders I'd put them in the pen till death or I'd put them to death right up front . I've seen where the week they got out of prison they committed the crime again . I also saw one guy in prison say if you let me out I WILL DO THIS CRIME AGAIN . So I guess there is at least 1 honest man in prison because he said he'd do it again . I have 100% no sympathy for anyone who rapes a child or abuses a child in any way .

@757beach:
 
Absolutely not. But I see child molesters and rapists as mentally damaged individuals not fit for general population. Armed robbery could just be a result of desperation or lack moral guidance. I'm not justifying the act just that it is still possible to turn their life around. I do understand the feeling of unfairness though as if he got away with it. When the guy that violently mugged my grandma was released less than two years into a 3rd strike "mandatory" 20yr min sentence we had a pretty **** off family. I don't know maybe I'm getting soft or maybe I'm still just **** with the Justice dept from that story of the wrongly convicted man from a couple weeks ago.

He could maybe install AC units here in Texas prisons. Maybe let a few inmates serving their time for the same offense know who he is, if he can make it out alive, then he can go free. Make it a live TV show, like the hunger games.

Looks like the judge ruled that Mr. Anderson has turned his life around and has been released with no further prison time. He has spent the last 10 months in jail awaiting the hearing (which took 10 minutes) announcing the judge's decision.
 
---
CHARLESTON, Mo. — A Missouri man who didn't go to prison for more than a decade because of a clerical error can go home to his family, a judge ruled Monday...
 
"You've been a good father. You've been a good husband. You've been a good taxpaying citizen of the state of Missouri," said Judge Terry Lynn Brown of Missouri's 33rd Judicial Circuit Court in Charleston, Mo. "That leads me to believe that you are a good man and a changed man."
 
The judge said Anderson would be given credit for the 4,794 days between when he was convicted and when he was arrested last year and allowed him to walk out of the courtroom with his wife and 3-year-old daughter on one arm and his grandmother on the other.
