If he'd been paroled he would have had to register as a sex offender everywhere he went and send letters to his neighbors informing them of his conviction etc.
At least this way he's a truly free man.

I agree with Tom and Sykkboy on these issues, I'm against the death penalty mostly because you always run the risk of executing an innocent person.
And for people who boo hoo about the $$ it takes to imprison people, did you know it costs less to keep someone in prison for life than it does to execute them?
Actually, wouldn't he still have to do that if he hadn't finally been exonerated? I'm not sure that registration and notification thing is strictly for parolees in many jurisdictions.
