How many chances?

George James Bradley served five years in prison for deadly conduct and drug offenses and was released in 2005. Three months later, he was charged with aggravated assault on a public servant. He wasn't sentenced on that case until last fall. He got 5 years but was given credit for time served.

May 9, Bradley set his mother on fire. Then he went to a nearby school, trapped a school employee in an office, and tried to sexually assault her at knifepoint. The principal of the school heard her screams and broke down the door to rescue her. Bradley was arrested.

How many more chances should he get?

I suppose they will again give him five years, time served. The judges need to be held responsible for their inadequate sentencing.
