A 42-year-old man convicted in the killing of a 6-year-old boy in Kentucky after he broke into the child’s home in 2015 has been released on parole.
Ronald Exantus, 42, was sentenced to 20 years after being found guilty of second-degree assault in the boy’s death, but was released from custody on Wednesday, according to online records.
