​@Unknown-ed2ei it sends the message that you can spend 53 years behind bars for a murder, which is a lot longer than many people do, especially since she stabbed one person and they couldn't even prove the victim was still alive when she did it, so they didn't prove she actually killed Rosemary LaBianca. If you don't honor the terms of someone's sentence, which is life WITH possibility of parole, you send the message that good behavior in prison is worth nothing, rehabilitation is being used as a euphemism for punishment, and that the law won't uphold their end of a deal.
