    This is where it gets messy for me.

    I’m in favor of letting the COVID release prisoners go. It seems unnaturally cruel to send non-violent offenders back to prison for the rest of their sentence if they haven’t reoffended.

    I would not have released this guy in the first place. “Non-violent” my ass.

      I think the Biden administration is probably pretty unanimous in connecting “has money and good connections” with “how much harm could he be doing, really when you get down to it?” They probably didn’t even realize that there might be bad people in the mixture of “non-violent” offenders, such that they would need to look over the list with any amount of attention.

      It just happened that this guy is so infamous that you can make a news story about it, but I would bet that there are some quiet sociopaths in the mixture who didn’t make the news who are even more horrible.
