The killer of 5-year-old Sara West, Billy Joe Shafter, had a parole hearing in February of this year. However, he was given a rehearing date of 2019. No parole for him.

What the hell is wrong with people?Why would any court give this demon life?
I say..hand him over to the family and the public so he can be made to suffer..there is no justice in the system..eliminate this abomination..he didnt show any respect for the life of this child..he deserves to suffer..i hope he never gets released he will wish he died in prison..
