Anybody else trying to do a quick calculation to figure when you could get out too?

He served 35 years. I don't care either way but it hardly out of line with other attempted murders sentences.

Reminds me of this - Greatest American Hero TV Series' main character's last name was Hinkley at the time this happened:
Ralph's surname was changed near the end of the first season from Hinkley to Hanley because of the name's negative connection with John Hinckley (the man who shot President Ronald Reagan in an assassination attempt on March 30, 1981). Ralph's last name was changed back to Hinkley in the first episode of Season 2 ("The Two Hundred Mile an Hour Fastball"), after the furor over his name subsided.
I remember him suddenly introducing himself as Ralph Hanley and thought WTF?

Probably converted to Islam and declared allegiance to ISIS. Since you know you cant hold them responsible for anything and it would be wrong and Islamophobic to keep him in jail... very shrewd move on his part.

I wonder if the judge has received any donations from a certain foundation...

That's exactly what I was thinking. During a replay of the 1980 election year, run ads saying it's morally imperative to stop fascism, whip people up into a frenzy, and then release actual assassins (from the same election!) from jail...
