Esa Åkerlund: Allowed to Murder Over and Over Again

The solution to crime has always been highly debated in our society, as appropriate sentencing lengths, parole restrictions and the death penalty are topics that always start intense conversations. In some countries, like Finland for example, they believe in rehabilitation, as their justice system has been criticized by multiple countries for its rather gentle approach to criminals. One of the worst examples of this is Esa Akerlund, a man who randomly decided to shoot into a car with five people in it in 2010, as one of the occupants was a pregnant woman. Three people died at the scene, and when Esa was arrested, he was charged with 3 murders and sentenced to 15 years. The even more insane part of this story is that he had already killed before, having a previous life sentence commuted.
