I wouldn't get too outraged until and unless the guy is actually released after 6 years. Parole boards tend to deny parole in high profile cases like this, look at how many times Sirhan Sirhan has been denied parole.

Worse, due to ex post facto laws, it's the same way today for an old murder. This is how sentencing in California used to be.

It also says that it's up to the parole board to decide when he's been there enough. The article tries to build sympathy for the poor lad, but I must have a heart of stone.
