Mp predicts hanson jailing unlikely to hurt one of the country’s most notorious convicts – Peter Henson
Peter Henson, who had been convicted of killing h더킹카지노is mother’s partner and a relative in his native Florida, could be released from prison within days because of a $5m (£3.5m) deal he struck with prosecutors.
Jailing him for 20 years is widely expected to do little to alter the image of a man who appears for years on television as a charismatic, unhinged character.
But it will, critics claim, do the opposite of help.
Henson’s wife, Donna, and his sister, Debbie, w더킹카지노ere released last week after a nine-week prison sentence that will carry a minimum of 23 years.
Henson was sentenced by state court Judge William Waugh in June to the longest life sentence imposed on one of America’s most notorious murder cases.
He has spent 15 years in solitary confinement in the Palm Beach County jail – not an ordinary time frame.
‘I just want to get out’
Henson is said to be the most notorious inmate in the state’s three-decade-old “three strikes and you’re out” system, which places him in a three-person cell for life for any felony he commits.
Although he was never charged in the death of his parents and aunt, Mary Ann and Robert Henson, he is now an advocate for the cause of mental health reform and advocates for changes in the law on mental illness.
Prosecutors have been pressing the Florida supreme court to strike the sentence down as unconstitutional.
Henson’s sup바카라porters see his case as a case of justice being done.
“I am very optimistic it will be overturned,” said Mark Stover, spokesman for Florida Families for Social Responsibility, an organisation in the state which advocates for criminal justice reform.
“It’s obviously going to put a lot of pressure on the state legislature to have a debate around this, to decide how much to cut back this prison, how much to privatise it or to keep it as it is.”
Prosecutors said it made sense for Henson, 54, to be in an “out-of-mate” facility, where he was not permitted outside the prison, to “get the medical care he needs”.
However, a Florida Department of Corrections spokesman said the prison was “no longer providing housing for Peter” and that his lawyers had agreed to allow him to work from home on a volunteer basis.
