So.. looks like he will stay inside for a longer period i guess...

Not sure what the money matters, like the article says he is 65 and will die in there.

Not sure how they can keep someone in prison for life now that something is legal in a good number of states, Sad,
Now the murder thing- that's a different story but he did his time as sentenced on that one,
The 70's and 80's were a whole different era, I'm sure alot of others did alot worse and never got caught,

And i'm sure his son could use the settlement of the $,

I'm thinking if he is being wrongly punished some human rights law firm would pro bono his case if only for the publicity.

They can. When someone is sentenced, it follows the law of that day. whatever happens after follows the same rule. What they can't do is seize assets, under value them and then se]ll the asset to make a profit. in this case a huge profit. I'd guess he'll win but won't see near what he;s owed. The entire thing sucks. He did his time on a really sketchy murder gig so now he should get free, like Randy Lanier did 70s were just a bunch of good ole Florida guys carrying in weed. 80s it all changed with the lucrative booger sugar and all that came with that

think a lot of the issues with people locked up for pot are for profit jails. the feds are a whole deal lol.

So many of my high school buddies spent prison time for pot and now I literally have it delivered to my front door. I guess the 50% taxes are better than the cheap prison labor

Everyone wouldn't be so lenient if he stole a bunch of boats : )
