News Article

 

In 2004, a tragedy tore my life apart. My mother was brutally murdered, and her killer has now been granted a parole hearing in January. I cannot, with a clear conscience, allow this to happen. My family is in desperate need of protection, as the danger associated with his release is nothing short of terrifying.

During the trial, this man displayed no remorse. Instead, he laughed in our faces as he was sentenced for his vile acts. His criminal record is a litany of horror, including kidnapping, rape, and homicide, crimes that have left an indelible mark on those he harmed. This is not someone who should be walking free.

What makes this more alarming are the concerns raised by his new wife’s family. They have reached out, fearing for her safety, believing that he manipulated her into a relationship while she volunteered at the prison. This raises serious doubts about his mental fitness and whether he has truly rehabilitated.

I urge the parole board to consider not only the safety of my family but also the safety of his wife, and indeed society at large. This is a person who has shown a consistent pattern of predatory behavior. Releasing him does not serve justice, nor does it protect the community.

Please join me in signing this petition to ensure that my mother's murderer is not given the opportunity to harm others. Stopping his parole is not just an act of personal justice, it’s a crucial step in safeguarding our community. Sign now to keep a dangerous criminal where he belongs – behind bars.
