But he served his sentence, didn't he?

The People of Minnesota, acting through their elected representatives, have determined that life in prison or execution is not appropriate for offenders of this type.

They are wrong-very badly wrong-but there are no grounds for a lawsuit.

I went back and reread the perps info. I did see where he completed his term. I was mistaken in the supervision part. However, I believe there are certain crimes that are committed that should be supervised longer than 6 months after release. Level 3 sex offenders with a history of kidnapping should be one. I hope the parents and citizens push for a change in the laws.

Nice idea.

I believe that if you need "supervision" because your brain is constantly vibrating at the thought of raping or murdering young girls, you should be dead.

Prison for life is a (much less desirable) alternative.

The supervision of which you speak is a utopian fantasy that does not exist in the real world.

What exists in the real world is the rope, the electric chair, the needle, and steel bars. The People of Minnesota chose not to place those things between Rodriguez and this young girl, and she is dead as a result.

Shame on them.
