Why did they choose this case?
I understand wanting to put our flawed parole system under the microscope, but why choose such a cut-and-dry and frankly, unsympathetic, case? The subject had a psychotic episode and killed someone, then went on the run. He’s done well in prison—an extremely controlled location. I don’t think it’s unreasonable to assume he would struggle with uncontrolled scenarios. I’m kind of surprised he got paroled in the first place? Why not choose a case in which someone got put back in over a murky crime and a murky violation? This just feels kind of irresponsible and like they’re sympathizing with this guy because his dad is a famous writer.

Really sad, for both families. Thanks to the amazing Beth Swartzpfel, it provokes much needed discussions.
