I question how much this really has to do with coronavirus. The article points out that he has been eligible for parole since 2017 and was due to be automatically released this August. It's also worth noting that his conviction was "only" for robbery, suggesting the new offence could be an escalation rather than a continuation.
So doesn't all that suggest this just yet another example of a failure of the US criminal justice system to even try to rehabilitate criminals and an abject failure to manage parolees in general, regardless of when or why they're released? You can't simply lock every convicted criminal up for life so there has to be much more effort put in to rehabilitation, preventing re-offending and indeed preventing offending by vulnerable people in the first place.
Wow, could you be more desperate to defend a murderer? It's the prison's fault! They made him a murderer!! Typical for Democrats. Defend the criminals. Blame the victims. Blame society.
