Criminal justice reformers are destroying the trust in the criminal justice system that is necessary for the system to operate, and they are doing so by misleading victims and the public about how long a criminal is going to stay behind bars.
California released David Funston, who was convicted of kidnapping and raping multiple children, under its “elderly parole” system. California views any criminal over the age of 50 as “elderly” and worthy of being released, with few exceptions. Kidnapping and sexually assaulting multiple children is not one of those exceptions, so Funston was released.
