John Paul's would-be assassin to be set free

Yea I mean, it's not like this guy's going to hurt anybody, since Pope John Paul II died. Morons.

A Turkish court has approved the release of the man who shot Pope John Paul II in 1981, saying that he has completed his prison term.
Mehmet Ali Agca, 47, a Turkish citizen, was extradited to Turkey in 2000 after serving 20 years in prison in Italy for shooting and wounding the Pope in St Peter’s Square in Rome.

Hmm...that's 19 years in prison in an Italian prison. Apparently tomatoes make-a you forget-a the, come si dice...math.

Upon his return to Turkey, Agca was sent to serve a ten-year prison term for murdering Abdi Ipekci, a Turkish journalist, in 1979.
He was separately sentenced to seven years and four months for two robberies in Turkey in the same year.

Man, this guy Agca really got around. And what year is this? 2006 right? 2000 to 2006 is six years. (yea, I graduated high school, that's right) Apparently they can't count for shit in Turkey either.

An Istanbul court ruled in 2004 that Agca should serve only the longer sentence. The ten-year term changed twice because of new laws.
Agca served less than six months in a Turkish prison in 1979 for killing Mr Ipekci,before he escaped, resurfacing in 1981 in Rome.
Taking into account this time served, the prison asked for permission to release Agca. The court ruled that he could now be freed this week.

Sounds like everyone just got confused as to how long this guy should be imprisoned for and just said fuck it, and let him go. No harm done...yet.
