A man convicted in the death of 6-year-old Logan Tipton has been released early—after serving only 8 years of his original 20-year sentence—and the White House is reviewing the decision. An Indiana man by the name of Ronald Exantus was found not guilty of murder by reason of insanity. The Kentucky Justice Cabinet says the parole board didn’t authorize the release, rather state law forced “mandatory reentry supervision” once credits and time served reached a threshold. Now Exantus is back in custody after violating terms of probation. This case raises serious questions about whether Kentucky law delivered justice for the family. When a murderer serves so little time for a brutal crime public trust in the justice is deeply undermined.
