Should they release ole Charlie boy?


He would be huuggeee if released. Book deals, interviews, TV, movies. All for the wrong reasons of course, but I think it would be hilarious.

It would cause a lot of distress to family members so I'd say no. He probably should've been in a mental institution rather than a prison but although I don't see how he could hurt anyone at this point, I don't see how it would help either.

hoping he was dead

I believe he could do harm even at this point. There are still members of his "family" out there. There are also many young people out there who find him fascinating. Many unbalanced folks out there too. He's quite the con man.

reply

He needs to stay in jail until he dies. And hopefully he lives to at least 100 so he can experience the maximum amount of time and pleasure that being imprisoned can bring.

I'm glad he was never paroled, certain people can't be rehabilitated. His next parole hearing isn't until 2027 if he lives to 92, he didn't even go to his last hearing or meet with his lawyer so I think he's accepted that he'll never get out.

reply

NO! NO! NO! He is not mentally ill, but he IS evil! He has no business being out and about in society. We have a right to protect ourselves from such walking, talking evil.

Stay in prison Charlie, just where you belong!

reply

I don't think he could even function out of prison now. He's lived most of his life behind bars and that's where he should live out his life. Prison is something he understands.

I also think it would be a slap in the victim's family's faces to release the little slime ball.

Im glad he was in prison until he died.

reply

Well he did get a "release" of sorts from prison. But I don't think he's enjoying his parole now! At least I hope it's hot where he is.

reply

Probably down there making deals with THE BIG GUY.
The thing that really grinds my gears is that he died there of natural causes.
His victims never had a chance.

reply

It is too late for that now.

reply

Charlie didn't even want out by the end. He refused to attend his parole meetings or even meet with his lawyers on his last couple of hearings.
