What a coward.

Update: Go ahead and mod me down, but a spammer breaks out of jail (on a light 21 month sentence in minimum security) only to murder his wife and toddler aged child on his way out. That is an amazing display of cowardice.

"He had been serving a 21 month sentence [in] a federal minimum-security prison camp"

21 months in a minimum-security prison seems doable if you have a wife, child, and several million dollars waiting at home. Or are US prisons really that bad?

Honestly. How bad could it have been? Especially since he was staying in the type of prison that you can simply "walk away from":

"had been a fugitive from the law since walking away from a federal minimum-security prison..."

I think this was more a demonstration of mental illness than cowardice...
