Kentucky Parole Board

A Kentucky man found not guilty by reason of insanity in the 2015 stabbing death of a 6-year-old boy was released from prison after completing his sentence for assaulting the child's surviving family members. The victim's father criticized the release as a failure of justice, while officials stated the man's release followed legally mandated sentence credits.

Ronald Exantus, found not guilty of murdering 6-year-old Logan Tipton by reason of insanity in 2018, was released from prison without being required to undergo involuntary hospitalization. His release sparked controversy among family members, lawmakers, and others, with calls for stricter mental health proceedings and victim notifications.
