I hope that he became a Christian while in prison and will make it to heaven. God will know if he sincerely repented or not.
I firmly believe that people who have committed crimes and then become Christians should still pay the price and serve the time or sentance, in this case death.
Years ago when some of the major Evangelical figures were trying to get a woman on Death Row in Texas off from her death penalty I opposed them.
I am glad she changed her life and came to God but she still has to pay the price for her crime. The good news is that if she r eally did become a Christian then she just made it to heaven before us.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."
