This month, Sarah Jane Moore, the assassin who tried to kill President Ford, was released from prison on parole after 32 years behind bars. The question I ask is “What message do we send to terrorists and assassins that trying to kill our President will get you just a medium size prison term with expected release?” If it was not for an aware bystander, our President would have been killed.
More facts: (a) The prosecutors never got an honest answer from her on her true motive (b) she was part of a conspiracy organization and (c) she successfully broke out of prison for a brief time. Is that a model prisoner?
