Malcolm X's Killer Free

As of April 28, 2010, Malcolm X's killer(well the one who admitted to it), is free. after severing a BS sentence of 20 years in prison, most of which he was able to work on a work release and only spent two real days in prison a week. How is this possible for one of the men who have slain a positive African American Leader, one who carried so much influence and power, and delivered hope to people of all races. Thomas Hagan, freed a day before his sentence was up because for some reason, his paper work was processed extremely faster than it usually is. As reported by CNN, Hagan, on his release will live the good life, with a loving wife, who is shockingly a political activist, and wealthy women as well, having managed to obtain a large sum of property and, and several well placed business ventures. To me it seems that America has rewarded Hagan, and instead of looking a X as a hero, Hagan, is the real one...is there something i missed? or has America finally showed that they have lost there minds.
