I remember feeling so sad and heartbroken for Brian Corrigan when I first saw him on the evening news. He was in tears, begging the public to help find the person who killed his pregnant wife. I just couldn’t imagine the emotional pain this poor man was going through.

But it didn’t take long for the truth to come out. HE was the one who murdered his wife and tried to deceive everyone with his lies so he wouldn’t be caught. I felt sick! How can someone in their right mind kill their spouse, let alone killing her while she is 7 months pregnant with their baby?!

Corrigan was sentenced to up to 22 years jail but today was released, after only serving 16 years. Personally I don’t think that even 22 years is enough for taking someone’s life but hey, I’m no lawyer or judge or anything.

Just because someone is being a model prisoner should not influence the time they spend in jail. I think it’s just common sense that if someone is trouble, they will be good for a time to show that they CAN be good. My kids do the same thing. If they get into trouble at home and they get grounded for a week by me or Bill, they’ll be really well-behaved for the first few days in the hope that we will reduce their grounding. But I don’t care how well-behaved they are. I gave them a week because of what they had done and it sticks. Call me tough or whatever, but that’s what I do.

At Corrigan’s trial, he first claimed that it was an intruder that had killed his wife. When that wasn’t convincing, he then blamed the voices in his head. He had nothing to say as he walked free this morning.

HIs wife’s family must be shattered to hear that he has been released early. The Parole Authority should have given more attention to the family’s concerns and the murderer’s history of deception.

I am disgusted that this man has be allowed to walk free while his wife and unborn child’s lives were cut short.
