How many more chances do you think Paul Harvey Andrews should have?
In 1975, he raped a girl in Garland. Also in 1975, he took a little girl from Mesquite and raped her. His sex crimes continued into the 1980's. He was released from prison in 1983 even though he told the parole board that he would offend again. Within six weeks, he had kept his word.
Later that same year, he abducted a 12-year-old girl and her 4-year-old brother from a playground. He took them under a bridge where he held a screwdriver to the girl's throat and raped her.
He was sentenced to 75 years in prison in 1985, but he was let out on parole in 2010 despite expert opinion that he is a sexually violent predator. Bill Bruner is a sex offender counselor, so I'm sure he's heard and seen everything in the book. He says that Andrews' crimes are the most heinous of any he has dealt with. In all Andrews has been convicted of four sexual crimes and two kidnappings. But remember, that's just the ones we know about. How many has he committed where he didn't get caught?
Andrews has recently been hauled back to court for failing to abide by the terms of his parole. This time, he's received a life sentence. That is, life until they let him out on parole again. Just how many more chances to you think we should give him?

The people who let this sick and twisted individual out should be held accountable.
