This is an “old law” case where the Parole Board (which has very little work left) determines the release date. This was before truth in sentencing and life means life.
I didn’t know Christopher Walken lived in town.
I’m sure he’ll end up in Pleasant Prairie with the rest of the pedos. Salem is taking them now too.
Can you read? He’s not a pedo. He’s a murderer.
I am well aware, if you think further than you read: since Salem takes other criminals like pedos- they’ll take this scum. 😉
‘Welcome
So 2 life sentences +30 years =37 years.Makes sense to me.
Wisconsin, like other Blue/Purple states that mirror Europe and Canada’s criminal justice absurdities, does not have a powerful enough culture to force its legal and prison system to enforce full punishment. The case of Dahmer is how it must be done in these states – the prison admin sets up a faction or another prisoner to give the target a Sunday morning lead-pipe massage bon voyage. Their femme-liberal compromised political and legal systems simply can’t cut the mustard as in the best of the Red states, like FL and TX. Desantis just presided over FL’s 13th execution for a record, better than TX. WI could learn much from FL and TX.
Your a complete idiot..Wisconsin is a republican ran state idiot..the hell are u smoking loser.. And didn’t trump release 1500 felons from the Jan 6 crime spree…
You should be careful about calling someone an idiot when your post is completely wrong. Wisconsin is a purple state, considered a swing state. Also, President Trump pardoned almost 1600 people, most of whom were NOT felons and were convicted based on a weaponized justice system through the corrupt Biden Administration. Do some homework before you post false information.
Does he get to keep the money too?
I think I know you ! 😆
“You weren’t supposed to find out” said Maggie Gau spokesman and actual Governor.
He served his time , He was not a pedo , he was a very young man that made a very very bad mistake
You are a moron. Maybe he’ll take you out, or some other family member.
Only if you stiff him in a drug deal.
I remember this when I was a teenager. It was a horrible and horrific crime that’s sickened kenosha county . I knew the victim’s father as well And he has since passed. May he rest in peace , but i’m glad he is not alive to see the killer of his son a free man. I cannot imagine how the family are feeling with this monster out on the streets
How about 2 people that died where is justice for being killed?
He burned someone alive…. So…
He indeed did NOT “serve his time”……. he beat.my 2 cousins with tire irons and left them for dead and then set them on fire……….so NO he does not deserve to be paroled🤡
Execute him or take him to El Salvador’s Max Prison for life.
Still didn’t serve his time. Gets zero sympathy until justice is served as it should be.
It don’t matter if he was a young man he took a life so his life should be taken. You do the crime you do the fucking time life means life
Bet Luigi isn’t getting out any time soon.
I was just reading that Luigi killed someone in Arizona!
It took Arizona authorities five years, but they finally began prosecuting a convicted killer from Kenosha for a 1984 murder.
Luigi Aiello, who is serving back-to-back life sentences in Wisconsin, pleaded not guilty Tuesday in the throat-slashing death of John H. Sutter, 41, of Flagstaff, Ariz.
Luigi died a few yrs ago..
Unfortunately he is alive and well
Nope! Wrong one.
That was his father who passed.
Nope!! His dad by the same name passed away a few yrs ago
Nope!! His dad by the same name, passed away a few yrs ago.
I believe that idiot did the right thing and died in prison
Im sure they will let him out as well they seem to only give life to drug dealers not murderers
https://www.chicagotribune.com/1987/06/26/2d-man-gets-life-in-kenosha-county-slayings/
A guy i went to high school in Libertyville sentence to 30 years to life for killing his girlfriend.The summer we graduated. He got paroled after thirty three years. He disappeared Into nowhere when he got out. Frank Slago was his name.
I’m also from Libertyville. Frank Slago moved to the near West Side of Chicago after he got out and lived in halfway house. He died a few years ago and is buried in the family plot at Acension Cemetery. Kim Muno wasn’t his girlfriend, but he had a crush on her. She was homecoming queen. Such a sad story. His parents and siblings were really nice people.
So because that’s how the law was back in the 80’s then that’s what they go by now still in his case? Well why didn’t they use the old laws from the 80’s on me then when I had a dui in the 2000’s? So instead of me being charged with my 3rd because they went back to the early 80’s when I got a couple of dui’s when I was still a kid basically, they should have charged me with my 1st and not went back so far. I guess double homicide ain’t as bad! Fucking morons!
How many of you actually remember this happening ? The man did his time so let him be. There was also another person involved in this crime and he committed a similar crime in Az where HE set people on fire. Sure this person did get in a scuffle with the victims and of course over a drug deal gone bad. Not justifying the heinous crime committed, but this guy served his time so let it go.
Let it go? What if it was your son or your brother that was murdered? Would you let it go? There are still members of the families in the area; they will never forget!
This is Bull Shit, and yes i remember this murder taking place. They both should of gotten the death penalty!
But the daisies in Wisconsin took away the death penalty.
This scum should be rotting in jail for life, Period
Letting him out on parole is not justice served, it’s criminal in itself.
Yeah, the death penalty was abolished in 1853 in Wisconsin so I don’t think any daisies had anything to do with that😂
I remember it, he’ll never serve enough time. He should have been off the planet decades ago.
I remember this as if it was yesterday. If the liberal pansies would get their heads out of the sand and the worst governor EVER—s would grow a set, maybe our state could turn itself around before it’s too late. These two thugs killed and burned 2 people over a drug deal gone bad!! Really?! I don’t care how long ago it was, life should be life; not paroled after so long. We need the death penalty in WI. Bring back public hangings! Maybe that would scare people straight; and if not at least it we are getting these morons off our streets.
I remember it and it don’t fucking matter 2 life’s means 2 life in prison what don’t you understand
I think 53140 is on the north side. Meet and greet group out yet?
Keep murders in jail… He served his time.
So…other than murder, what skills does he have? Who in the fuck would hire him to do anything.
Well, other than murder somebody..
My friends and I took karate lessons from him. Had no idea as kids what crazy things he was involved in. Still have scars on my shins because of the training.
Welcome back.Murderer.
i remember this and how heinous this crime was. Does anyone think he got “rehabilitated” in there?? He is a killer. nothing more. For those of you saying he served his time. Hopefully he doesnt reoffend on you or one of your family members.
Big question,.Who are the libtards on this so called parole board???
They should be booted ASAP.
Wisconsin is crazy, The man that murdered my friends dad in the early 80’s just because he was hell bent on killing the next person he saw was paroled a few years ago. It brought back all the pain for the family. It’s not right. Plus at 61 years old what skills does he have? How is he going to earn a living? He hasn’t paid into social security in almost 40 years. What’s the easiest way to make money? Stealing or dealing. I hope the next victim of his crimes is a liberal politician
biggest POS I ever did time with
I guess if he had used an assault rifle like Kyle Rittenhouse, he would’ve had to go to prison!
