Should convicted felons get to shape their narrative?

I stumbled upon this podcast featuring the man involved in the infamous Taktse case, and he has been openly sharing his side of the story https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-HsH0MkrTGU . For those who've read the book or followed the case, how do you feel about this?

I'm conflicted thinking about the trauma and pain experienced by the 19 girls involved. Do you think convicted felons deserve a platform to reshape public perception? Curious about how others are processing this.
