WOODFORD COUNTY, Ky. —

An Indiana man convicted in the death of a 6-year-old Kentucky boy is now out of prison on parole.

Ronald Exantus was sentenced to 20 years in prison in 2018, but was released early on good behavior and education credits.

He broke into the Versailles home of Logan Tipton in December 2015, fatally stabbed the boy and attacked the little boy's father and sisters.

He was found not guilty by reason of insanity for murder, but a jury found him guilty but mentally ill on assault charges.

Tipton's family also survived the attack and his father says after that night he also lost the will to live.

"I laid in bed. I gave up. I gave up on life. I gave up on my family. I gave up on everybody. I just wanted to die," said Logan's father Dean Tipton.

Exantus will remain under probation and parole supervision until his sentence ends next year.

He will serve his mandatory re-entry supervision in Florida.

Mentally competent or not, you stab someone to death, a 6 year old child no less, you should be put in the ground immediately.

From 20 years to 7?! Good behavior and education? But also yes to the mentally ill? 

Fock that.

The jury is the one who found him not guilty of murder by reason of insanity, which to my understanding is a hard standard to meet. And guilty but mentally ill still got him a 20 year sentence on the assault charges (I don't know Kentucky law, but in California prisoners can get one day of credit against their sentence for every day served and there are also similar incentives to reduce sentence like he received).

No, Straw Man, I didn't say that, however sentencing guidelines have to be followed.

Like it or not, sentencing guidelines have to be followed when a prisoner meets all the criteria. State authorities had no other alternative in the situation.

I've had the same question for decades.

Never saw it, but I understand 'the usual suspects' is a pretty good movie.
