Title: Report: Killer released 10 years early Post by: pmull on April 04, 2012, 11:55:30 AM This just seems wrong. >:(
Quote The widow of an Atlanta Braves pitcher who was gunned down in a 1995 robbery is outraged that her husband's killer was released from prison 10 years early. Two years later, Neal Evans was charged with second-degree murder, thanks in part to a teammate who was determined to track down his killer. Evans, now 47, was released Tuesday from Florida's South Bay Correctional Facility. "He should be sitting in jail for the rest of his life," Shotkoski's widow, Felicia, said. "And if not, he should at least serve out his entire sentence." Florida Department of Corrections records indicate that Evans was jailed at least five times prior to the 1995 shooting, including for convictions of burglary, grand theft auto and cocaine possession. He is now on conditional release until 2022. Evans was sentenced to 27 years in prison for Dave Shotkoski's murder but earned 20 days of time for good behavior during every month served, according to Felicia Shotkoski, who learned her husband's murderer would be released Sunday via an automated phone message http://msn.foxsports.com/mlb/story/man-who-shot-killed-atlanta-braves-pitcher-dave-shotkoski-released-from-prison-10-years-early-040412 Title: Re: Report: Killer released 10 years early Post by: KoKoPuf on April 04, 2012, 12:39:13 PM They had to make room in jail for someone convicted of Marijuana possession.

Although the above for mari. is breaking the law I think it is unreal that people sometimes are overlooked, such as the Widow here. JMHO! RTR!

That's a lot of good behavior. This guy has a history of criminal offenses. He kills a man during a robbery and only serves 17 years. I bet he will be back in jail within a year. I pray no one dies this time.

Title: Re: Report: Killer released 10 years early Post by: Jamos on April 04, 2012, 08:50:16 PM Florida may be using the "3 strikes and you're out" rule. That would mean that he has two more people to kill before they would put him back in jail. That makes about as much sense as any of the laws that we have anymore, State or Federal. :dunno:
