A tough one for certain.  I can understand some of the concern but don't really understand the press's effort to re-air this man's dirty laundry in public.  Its not that his crimes were not serious because they are.  But it seems that no one wanted him incarcerated for life or have him executed, so 34 years after he committed his crimes and apparently satisfied the state's requirements in accordance to the public will why is this even a story of public interest unless he has started committing more of his crimes?  

Is that it, after he has served his time he needs to be publically humiliated for the remainder of his life?  With our nation's illegal alien problem is there to be forgiveness for there crimes of entering our nation illegally days, weeks, months and years ago but no forgiveness of this man for crimes he committed and was incarcerated for 34 years ago?  And we view ourselves as a compassionate and civilized society?  Even Jesus had compassion for those who broke the law.
