We've just had something similar, here in RI. Woodmansee was sentenced to 40 years for a child kidnap and murder. He "earned" 12 years off for good behavior and was due to be released in August. HUGE uproar, and now he will voluntarily commit himself to a psych hospital instead. 2 psychiatrists met w/ him and determined he is still a threat, so he would have been involuntarily committed, otherwise.

I'll send an email, Donna.
