In the Land of Lincoln, prison sentences are mere suggestions. They’re kinda like dog years, only in reverse. Take the case of Samuel Parsons-Salas, released on parole early for a double-fatal home invasion in 2009. Less than three months out of lockup, he shot four this past weekend, killing three execution-style in Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s mostly peaceful city. The fourth victim is in critical condition.
Soft-on-crime prosecutors dropped not one, not two, but ten counts in that 2009 case in return for a plea bargain deal.
