Ronald Xantis was convicted of assault in 2018 for injuring family members of a boy he was found not guilty of murdering by reason of insanity. He was sentenced to 20 years but served only 10 due to a decade-old Kentucky law on mandatory re-entry supervision.

The release of Ronald Xantis has sparked debate over Kentucky's judicial system. Critics argue that laws should be changed to prevent early release of offenders who pose a danger, even if classified as non-violent. The current system is seen as failing to protect society from potential threats.

The case of Ronald Xantis, who was released on parole after being found not guilty by reason of insanity for killing a child, highlights a significant issue in Kentucky's legal system. Despite committing a violent crime, he is classified as a nonviolent offender, allowing him to serve less than a decade in prison.

The Kentucky Parole Board and the Department of Corrections are criticized for not publicly objecting to Ronald Xantis' release. Despite claiming their hands were tied, they are seen as complicit for not taking a stand or drawing attention to the issue.

Bridget Hoffler, now a prosecutor, continues to defend Ronald Xantis, claiming his past as a 'well-established nurse' justifies his early release, despite his conviction for murder.

The state of Kentucky's judicial system is criticized for allowing Ronald Xantis, a convicted child killer, to be released and live freely. This situation is described as a betrayal of justice, highlighting flaws in the legal system that classify certain assaults as nonviolent.
