Where is the Truth in Sentencing?

Once again, the liberal tendency to shorten prison sentences costs someone their life. The latest casualty was 14 year old Kelli O'Laughlin of Indian Head Park. Get a load of this jagoff's history:

• Wilson is a habitual criminal who has been in prison for 17 of the last 20 years, Troy said. A review of prison and court records show Wilson’s crimes escalated in violence.
  
  Wilson was last paroled Nov. 16, 2010 after serving part of an 11-year prison term for robbery in which he snatched a woman’s purse after grabbing her by the throat near her car in Chicago in August 2002.

Gee, 2002 + 11 years = 2013 if we added correctly. Truth in sentencing would have precluded him being on the street at all to murder an innocent child. And this?

• While serving his sentence, Wilson was convicted of spitting on prison guards at Pontiac Correctional Center during a scuffle. He received another two-year prison term for aggravated battery of a correctional officer, court records showed.

Most likely served concurrently, which for all you lay people out there means he's serving two sentences at the same time instead of tacking the two years onto the end of his current stint (consecutively). That would have put jagoff at a 2015 release date at the earliest.

And the insanity continues:

• Wilson also served earlier stints in prison for various crimes, dating back to 1991, that include possession of a controlled substance and aggravated vehicular hijacking. In the latter crime, Wilson pleaded guilty to pointing a gun at a motorist’s head in November 1993 during the car theft.
  
  The victim was able to flee unharmed. Wilson fled, but crashed the stolen car shortly later after a short police chase.

Warning sign after warning sign after warning sign. Constant run-ins with the police. An increasing propensity for violence and confrontation. Truth-in-sentencing would have been a good idea back in 1991. "Three Strikes" might have been an even better idea and Ms. O'Laughlin might have led a full and productive life, unlike this piece of crap.

UPDATE: Anyone know or can they find out if this jagoff was part of Quinn's "Early Release" special?
