at the time. Gets a much longer sentence from a diff. judge. Spends 15 years in prison, with appeals through the years saying he should really be in the looney bin. But now he asserts he is safe to live among civilians in society? If that is so, must be some powerful mental health cure in the penal system. Setting aside the sentence from the alternate judge-the original court found him sane and Kinle agreed to 25 years. Seems to me, that is and will be the minimum of what he will serve.
