Of course he's recovering and no longer a danger.
Almost every resident of Death Row is Saved and rehabilitated. Many of them have been Called to the ministry.
Wouldn't you?
no need to take a chance we dont need another arizona to happen ... keep him lock up...
no way this guy should go free; disgusting if they let him out.
After wasting thousands of taxpayer dollars to keep this filth alive, they're ready to let him go. He should've gone to the chair the day after he shot the President.
