Poll of the Day > 47 y/o HOMOPHOBIC Michigan Man is now FREE after Murdering a GAY Man in 1995!!!

(+) Yeah! (+)

47 y/o Jonathan Schmitz, the homophobic man who appeared on the Jenny Jones show and murdered the guest who said he had a secret "gay crush" on him is now enjoying his freedom after spending onl 22 years in prison!!

He was photographed outside a pet store and visiting a car insurance agent in Lapeer Michigan as the convicted murderer is back living with his mother and dad in their 3 bedroom home.

He spent the entire day running errands on his day off but was not keen on talking to dailymail reporters as his trailer trash family ATTACKED the cameramen who tried asking him questions.

He is under strict parole conditions which include not being allowed to leave Michigan or change his place of residence without permission of probation officers.

He was 24 in 1995 when he appeared on the Jenny Jones show with 32 y/o Scott Amedure when Scott said he had a romantic interest in him which apparently embarrassed and angered him..

Jonathan AGREED to appear on the show as the segment was on "Secret Admireres" as he was expecting it to be a woman and not his gay neighbor

He was so enraged and said he was "completely heterosexual" and 3 days afer the taping, he started drinking heavily and purcahsed a 12 gauge shotgun and went to Scott's mobile home and shot him twice at close range in the chest.

He called police and admitted he had murdered him and turned himself in after admitting the "shame" of being embarrassed on national television.

He was sentenced to 25-50 years for 2nd degree murder and although that was overturned, a retrial occurred with the same verdict.

Jonathan was granted parole and will be supervised until Augut 22, 2019.

The victim's faily were outraged over the release as they were troubled with not knowing if Jonathan had learned his lesson despife sentence given to him as they do not believe he is no longer a homophobe nor has gotten appropriate psychological care.

Do you think 25 years is an appropriate sentence for "murder"??.

Jonathan - Free

That story is horrible. That guy should not be allowed to roam the streets with such poor judgment and impulse control.

Didn't you already post this? Anyhow life in prison should mean just that. Over here 15 years equals a life sentence at max so at least the sentencing is better in the USA for this type of thing.

Without fixed penalties for crime the justice system is meaningless. He served, that's all that is required.

If somebody unjustly infringes on another's life (murder, sexual assault, anything harmful and permanent in some way), whether successful or not, but the intent is there, they forfeit their rights in my opinion. If there's sufficient evidence infallibly tying them to the crime (like video footage, multiple impartial witnesses to the act, or very convincing DNA evidence), just string 'em up in the town square upon the guilty verdict. It's cheaper and a better deterrent. Things that are not blatantly obvious would result in prison sentences. While a two-tier justice system is a little bit messy, it's necessary to prevent wrongful executions while streamlining the overall terrible process currently in use.
