But They Knew He Couldn't Be Trusted with a Gun?

Oliver had been released from prison and paroled in Sedgwick County in July, Kansas Department of Corrections records show. He was on “moderate” supervision. [More]
That's not enough.

    I've said that Prosecutors and Judges participate in a plea bargain should be held responsible if the person allowed to plead to a lesser offense commits a crime during the period after his release on parole and before he would have been released if he had been tried and convicted of the original offense.

    Example, A guy commits an offense that should have landed him in the pen for 20 years. His lawyer convinces the prosecutor to take a plea bargain to a lesser offense which ends up in only a 10 year sentence with possible time off for "good behavior". The guy does 8 years and is released on parole. Two years after release he commits a crime - something he could not have done if he'd been convicted and sentenced to 20 years. The family(ies) of the victim(s) are free to sue the Prosecutor (for accepting the deal) and the Judge (for approving the deal). I do not hold the defense attorney liable sine his job was to get the guy off as much as possible. Oh and if the guy was a real pain while incarcerated and STILL got "time off for good behavior" the parole board would be liable to the victim(s) if the crime was committed prior to the end of the yegg's original sentence from the plea deal.
