Well, at the risk of incuring the ire of everyone here, I think it's right and proper that his own child has a much normal contact with his father as possible. This is not to denigrate the memory of the two lads he killed at all, or for his own sorry carcass, but if we are to not exaccerbate the situation and make another child suffer then I think it was the right decision. On a note that might make people feel better, if you are released from prison on compasisonate grounds for a day, it's so much worse when you go back it's almost indescribable, so he won't be feeling great about it.
