Though they will still have life in prison, they have new incentive to now behave in even worse manner while in custody. They will also continue to cost taxpayers. Finally, it is a slap in face to victims and their families. As far as redemption from God, that is his prerogative. All have had a chance to receive God's forgiveness if truly remorseful. Other convicted killers have done so like Son Of Sam murderer David Berkowitz and are actually in a ministry role in prison. The Pope has no standing here or credibility as none of these commutations has anything to do with mercy. Of course he called Joe Biden a "Good Catholic" despite pushing for abortion access at almost any period of pregnancy and the Vatican is still, imo, enabling child abusing priests. They also have not allowed an outside investigation despite new cases occurring unabated.
