Why should we delude ourselves that he is genuinely remorseful or that he will redeem himself for such a horrific crime? Some criminals reform, others don't. It is a mistake to assume that everyone can or will mend their ways. One consequence of the article's theme, the fact that we don't fully control our destiny (absence of free will) is that the likelihood of recidivism is high.

- eximius 10y agoDo you think, having read the article, that it was a mistake? Even if we accept that not everyone can reform, what should we do about it? It is similar to the problem of sending innocent men to prison. I would err on the side of caution and freedom.
