>>>Michael Woodmansee was convicted of murder and sentenced to 40 years in prison in 1983 for the killing of 5-year-old Jason Foreman. Yet now he is set to be released from prison in August, 12 years before his prison sentence is complete. He is getting out early for good behavior. Woodmansee is scheduled to be released in August. He's currently undergoing mental health evaluations, according to police.
The prospect of an early release has angered John Foreman, Jason's father.
The issue here is: Is it OK for Woodmansee to be in the streets again? For some, this just shows how the US justice system is all screwed up. Woodmansee killed Jason in a very brutal manner. He was even accused of eating the child. Putting him back in the street will endanger more kids.
But some say Woodmansee has already been rehabilitated. It is time society to forgive him since he was already imprisoned and suffered for his crimes. Woodmansee did serve a significant portion of his sentence and hopefully received a lot of rehabilitation.
What do you think?
