Macchione would only spend two years incarcerated before being released on parole in 2014. Shortly after his release from prison, Macchione was interviewed by WKMG in Orlando, where he claims that Kristen was never in danger from him and that his actions weren't stalking at all, and he blamed his actions on drugs, claiming that he was "typing under the influence."
