Thank goodness Jimmy Don decided to screw up his chances for Parole.
His release date is now 2023.

I agree with the "thank goodness" part. Not necessarily for vengeance,
and not for justice (since I don't think justice was served with his
lenient sentence), but for public safety.

With that attitude noone would ever be released. The asshole who hit Ken
got 20 years : this is not a lenient sentence. In fact you could say it
was far too long for what could be described as "an alcohol induced accident".

If he can succeed in rehab then maybe, just maybe this young man can
serve a useful role in society once again.
