Probation officer gives office BJ to boot-camp teen
Thomas Spioch, Sexual Predator, Free After Getting 302 Years Knocked Off His Sentence

The hits never happened -- even with his mom's financial help in contributing to the killings. So the judge naturally decided to light him up, giving Spioch 315 years in the slam.
It would seem a fitting sentence for a pedophile and would-be mass murderer. But then the miracle of the U.S. justice system entered into play.
By 2007, Spioch had whittled his sentence down to 10 years due to claims of trial errors and shitty lawyering by his own attorney. He was about to be released when prosecutors invoked a Florida law allowing them to keep him jailed since he was still considered a danger to the community.
Three years later, however, shrinks began to report that Spioch was no longer a threat. How someone intent on mass murder can no longer be a threat, we're not sure. But that left prosecutors with no choice but to release him on Sunday.
By the time he was freed, Spioch had knocked off 302 years from his original sentence. He's still on probation for the next 12 years, but that likely doesn't soothe the good people of Titusville, Florida, where he currently resides. Nor does it please the seven people he once tried to have executed.
As one woman told Florida Today: "Oh, my God. I'm petrified. I'm scared to death. I don't feel safe."
