No one to kill during his brief stay in stir, he bettered himself and got out sooner for it.

h/t The Advocate:

Man convicted of antigay killing released early: Stephen Andrew Moller (left), who was convicted in June 2008 for the deathof 20-year-old Sean Kennedy (right) in Greenville, S.C., was released from prison early on Wednesday.

WYFF fills in the backstory:

Stephen Andrew Moller was convicted of manslaughter in June 2008 in the death of 20-year-old Sean Kennedy. Witnesses testified at trial that Moller shouted anti-gay slurs while punching Kennedy outside Brews bar on Pelham Road in May 2007. Kennedy fell and hit his head on the pavement, causing a fatal brain injury.

Sean’s mother, Elke Kennedy, was informed of Moller's release by automated message Wednesday night.

Moller was initially charged with murder in the case and was jailed for seven months before the charges were reduced to manslaughter. In June 2008, a judge sentenced Moller to five years in prison on the manslaughter charge, suspended to three years and reduced by seven months for time he had already served.

Kennedy said, “They say one thing and do something else. He should have served every single day of the already short sentence. Instead he was released from prison one week early. Where is the justice?”

Q Notes fills in a gratfying detail on the young man's good behavior:

His sentence had already been reduced by two months after receiving a good behavior credit for receiving his GED while in prison.

Here's a link to the foundation established in memory of the victim.

If Moller's victim had been straight, would there be such media silence? Or would there have been a conservative hue and cry about the lax standards of our penal system?

And what will Savonarola- who got up on his hind legs when a gay UK politician joked about killing the former Miss Carlifornia for her homophobic views (where is she now, anyway?)- say about one of his own Uplanders stepping over "the sex line" into violence?
