FRANKFORT – (TNS) Gov. Andy Beshear on Thursday joined several Kentucky lawmakers in encouraging the Kentucky Parole Board to imprison a man who was released early from his 20-year sentence despite killing a child.

Beshear’s call for the parole board to imprison Ronald Exantus, 42, came one day after more than two-dozen Kentucky state representatives signed a letter urging the parole board to do the same.

Beshear also indicated at the weekly news conference that he would support revisiting the law that allowed Exantus to be released from prison early.
