I voted no.
If he was charged with murder and was an ex-con that means he was convicted of murder. He was a murderer. Pretty big crime there.
From a liability standpoint - if this guy loses it again the store could potentially be opened for a lawsuit from the victim's family. Knowingly hiring a murderer and all

I'd rather him contribute to society in some way than just sitting around collecting unemployment. IMO providing him with employment will provide him with a psychological feeling of contribution back to society and will likely keep him busy and out of trouble.
I read somewhere that in the US, one of every 4 men has a criminal record ... I do not know if that is true, or how ir can possibly be right, but if it is it would seem that it is likely that a guy you would like to hire for a job has a criminal record.
Also, I do belive in "second chances".

yes, i'd hire any ex-con, aside from a rapist or child molester, provided it wasn't for a job that involved handling large sums of money or being in people's homes. i actually have a customer who did time for second degree murder, and he's a great guy. he just used to drink way too much and killed a guy in a bar fight when he was a dumb kid. people can change. and yes, i realize that my exclusion of rapists and pedophiles is hypocritical, but i don't fucking care.
There is a huge difference between working in a grocery shop and being on the cover on a game that will sell enormous numbers.
Also, even if they did someone else it wouldn't affect me much, and me giving them a job won't make them any less likely to do so.

I would hire a one time offender after doing some quick checks. I mean people forget that prison is there for a reason, no need to further punish them for what may have been a mistake. But if this person is a repeat offender before "cleaning up his act" I would definitely have to think about it, maybe do a trial run or something
It depends on if I knew about the murder, why, how and who?
Theres the good guy who killed someone accidentally when going a little too far defending himself from a bully/mugger/thug whatever. I would let this guy join of course.
Then there is the type guy who was involved in a gang or whatever, has committed other crimes such as rape, and therefore won't be allowed to be in my company.
Edit: And just because the government says that this person has been reformed because he has been "punished" in prison, it doesn't mean that they actually are. I would still have my doubts. There is a reason why people like this can never work in schools.
Oh, and it also depends on the job on offer.

While there isn't enough information, the whys and the hows etc I probably would, besides he'd probably come in handy if the store got robbed.
It seems reasonable, do to the fact that he's been good recently, but I'd still keep my eyes on him, and let him know that I had my eyes on him, also, I probably wouldn't let him interact with the customers a whole lot (you didn't specify which job he was applying). If the nation believes he can be let out, (good behavior include psych tests in most cases) then I don't see why not.
Some people have said they need more information on the convict's charges and convictions.
Their would also be the cause if he had any visible tattoos or any obscene tattoos.
Plus you said he served his time for 3 years and got off for good behavior on a murder rap.
All those three seem iffy.
But in the big scheme of things i would be more likely to give the job to some one who did not have a criminal record. If the convict misses parole and is arrested again i would lose an employee with out any notice, so it isn't as reliable as having a non convicted employee
