Correction - 1.2% were ARRESTED. Not 1.2% re-offended. There is a pretty big difference.

Not all that much, AFAICT. 80% of those charged with murder are convicted overall (85% if they go to trial), and I rather doubt that rate is lower for second-offense murderers.
So 1.2% are re-arrested within three years, and the huge majority of those who are really did commit another murder.
