Watts, who’s been called a poster boy for the perils of plea bargaining, will be 52 when he’s released and has vowed to kill again — sparking furious efforts in Michigan and Texas to keep him locked up.
They thought he’d die in prison, but good-time credits — time off for good behavior, as well as automatic sentence reductions — cut his sentence to 24 years. Watts doesn’t even have to win parole. Under Texas law, corrections officials would have no choice but to release Watts when his sentence expires.
A 12-member task force looking into unsolved murders remains confident it can uncover new clues to bring Watts to trial, said Rob Moran, an assistant Wayne County prosecutor.
THIS really sucks!
May God help the prosecutors lock this animal away for life.
An opinion-THIS is why I'm for the death penalty!
