Summary

The release of Ronald Exantus, a man convicted in the brutal 2015 fatal stabbing of 6-year-old Logan Tipton, has sparked national outrage. Exantus, a former dialysis nurse, was released 13 years early from his 20-year sentence, despite the Parole Board denying him parole. We cover the furious reaction from Logan's family, who are pushing for "Logan's Law" to close the loophole, and the federal scrutiny the case is now under, with the White House confirming it is "looking into" the release of the convicted killer.

0:07.0	Welcome to True Crime to Go. What can I get for you?
0:16.0	You know what? I love that our government shut down. Why don't you just tell me how also the legal
0:22.2	system is completely broken in this country? Pull up to the second window and we'll see you next crime.
0:31.6	Welcome to True Crime to Go. I am John here with Jamie. You had it like a painful look on your face. Everything
0:38.2	okay over there? Two reasons. That's a really heavy order you just placed and I'm fighting a sneeze.
0:43.5	So the combination of those two things was, uh, yeah. Remind me to talk about your sneeze over on

1:03.4	But we'll talk about that on bless their hearts. Okay. All right, man, this case is dark for a true
1:09.3	crime to go. So I'm going to go ahead and apologize now.
1:12.1	But we're going to go back to December 7, 2015, to a little town that you would look at it if you're not from around here and assume it's pronounced Versailles.

1:35.4	European city names, but we Kentuckyize them. So we have Versaels and Athens, or the main ones
1:41.2	that are pronounced differently, but sure we could get into some more
1:45.1	like how we're not, you know, welcome in London. That's another, that's another bless their hearts.
1:50.3	There are some weird city names in Kentucky. We're going to go down to Versailles and we're
1:55.8	going to talk about Ronald Exanthus. On the day you mentioned December 7thth, 2015, Exantus, who was a dialysis nurse by profession,
