Looks like Mr. Parrish just committed his second murder. He seems to have recently gotten out of jail for his first murder and an attempted murder charge. Can we start sending more murderers to Virginia for their trial?

I think the problem is that we are letting too many criminals out believing that they are rehabilated.Look what happened to 11 year old Jaycee Lee Duggard out in California back in 1991,she was kidnapped,raped and held 18 years against her will by that evil creature who should have never been released to begin with.

Good lord....

It's unclear whether he won the retrial because of intervention by the Maryland Innocence Project, which works to find and overturn wrongful convictions.

The group, based at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, told The Baltimore Sun last year that a "Dante Parrish" had been granted a new trial in a 1999 murder case. But the project's leaders could not be reached Wednesday night to confirm that that Parrish was the same man.

According to the Baltimore state's attorney's office, a former prosecutor misstated the facts of Parrish's 1999 case on the record.

Parrish's defense attorney never objected, leading the judge to order the new trial in 2008.

By then, the only eyewitness had recanted his story against Parrish, and no other evidence was available, authorities say. So in January of this year, the state's attorney's office offered Parrish a plea deal that amounted to time served, and he was released.

So, to summarize, the judicial system blew it and a family allowed a crazed murderer to be home alone with a 15 year old boy. The result: The boy was gagged, raped, and murdered.
