A New York man who killed a 4-year-old boy with a rock in 1993 when he was 13 years old has been released from prison after being granted parole last October, authorities said Tuesday.
Eric M. Smith, 42, was released from the Woodbourne Correctional Facility on Tuesday after serving 28 years for the murder of Derrick Robie, according to the state Department of Corrections and Community Supervision’s website.
I'm not sure how you just release a killer like this into the world all at once? His formative years being spent in prison the transition would be difficult for a "normal" person...perhaps something like they did with John Hinckley might have been better...seems like a recipe for disaster! I'm personally against his release but its done, just left to question the way it was done.

He was a 13 year old child when imprisoned. Think it might be about time or what?
Isn't this the person who smashed the child in the head with 3 large boulders and then rammed a tree stick up the victims rectum. Seems to me he should be in jail for much longer time. What's to prevent a sick perverted person from taking revenge and doing it again. The recidivism rate is too high @70%.
First I've heard of this case, but I think any normal 13-year-old knows that murder is wrong. There seems to have been a gradual push over the years to increase the age at which we're being told to consider somebody a child and thus not responsible for his actions.
It sounds as though it was a horrendous murder. How do people know that he's unlikely to murder again, or that if he'd been released earlier he wouldn't have already done so?
