An Oklahoma man with a lengthy record of violent offenses had his sentence commuted after spending just three years in prison on a 20-year sentence. After his release, he immediately killed three people and seriously injured a fourth, then fed one of the victims’ hearts to his family “with potatoes.”

Lawrence Paul Anderson, 42, was sentenced in 2017 to 20 years in prison “probation violations on a drug dealing case and for new crimes,” The Oklahoman reported. The Post Millennial added that Anderson’s “criminal history dates back to 2006, when he was convicted for assault on his then girlfriend, as well as possession with intent to sell of crack cocaine.” In 2017, the outlet noted, he also threatened “a woman with an illegally held firearm.”
