He won't be released; personalities this identifiable and with crimes as memorable as his will preclude it. Think of the Manson Family members.
Still, he's paid for one moment with a lifetime of imprisonment. When do we say enough and accept that a debt has been paid? At 77 and estranged from the homeland that spurred him to action for so many years, what threat does he pose?
