00:00Ronald Exantis, who fatally stabbed a six-year-old named Logan Tipton as the boy slept in bed in
00:052015, has been released from prison after serving his sentence. I feel like I need to repeat that
00:10so that it sinks in. A guy who murdered a small child is out of prison in a smidge over
00:16a decade
00:16and it gets worse. During trial, Exantis was found not guilty of murdering Logan Tipton by
00:23reason of insanity, but was convicted of assault for stabbing Logan's father and aunts
00:28during the same attack. Make it make sense to me. Now, after receiving credit for time served,
00:33he was released this week with no further supervision, no parole, no mandatory check-in
00:38with anyone. Now, Logan's father, Dean Tipton, said the decision feels like a life sentence for his
00:42family, writing that the judge and jury gave his son's killer a slap on the wrist while his family
00:47has been forced to live with the loss every single day. Now, the case led to the passage of Logan's
00:51Law in Kentucky, which toughens rules for violent offenders and changes how insanity defense cases
00:56are handled. But because the law is not retroactive, it doesn't apply to Exantis. Now, Logan's father
01:02says his fight is not over, vowing to push for even stronger laws to keep violent offenders
01:06from receiving early release in the future.
