To the editor: I used to be aghast to be taught that Andrew Stuart Luster, convicted of 86 felony counts together with “poisoning, rape, sodomy and oral copulation of unconscious victims,” is scheduled for release on Oct. 31, 2026, when he could have served half of his 50-year sentence.
The kicker is that he’s eligible for the above as a result of the rape of an unconscious individual qualifies as a “nonviolent offense.” Clarify that to these he violated.
This should change. I fear concerning the additional vile acts an offender like this would possibly perpetrate upon launch.

To the editor: Rape of an unconscious individual technically qualifies as a nonviolent offense? Rape, this most brutal assault by one individual towards the physique and the desire of one other individual?
When did imbecility change into a prerequisite to holding public workplace?
