Summary
After serving 23 years for a 1986 rape and attempted murder, 66-year-old Robert Lough has been released from McNeil Island — no conditions, no restrictions. Once deemed a sexually violent predator, a judge recently ruled he no longer fits that label, clearing the way for his return to Enumclaw. His release followed years of legal appeals and a turbulent past behind bars, including fights and threats, even a 2010 re-arrest. Now, the legal system says he’s safe to walk free — with no strings attached. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
