This board will provide an organized place for those of you who have indicated an interest in protesting the early release of murderers who have not been sentenced to death. This is something that both pros and antis can agree on and become involved in. It is a small thing to write a letter, and will cost only a stamp, but it can help these MVS families so much.
Most of the cases I will post come from an organization that I am very proud to be associated with, Citizens Against Homicide. My friend Jane Alexander has done incredible things in the few short years since she became a murder victim survivor after her beloved aunt Gertrude was brutally murdered by Jane's own boyfriend. The crime was solved purely by Jane's own tenaciousness and an investigator who really listened to what she had to say. You might have seen the case profiled on Cold Case Files on A&E. CAH sends out a monthly news letter profiling unsolved homicides and asking for assistance with parole protests.
Please consider supporting this organization by becoming a member. The annual membership is $50. Send your name and address along with your membership fee to CAH, PO Box 2115, San Anselmo, CA 94979.
When writing a parole protest letter, please be aware that you must include your name and address. If you write an anonymous letter, it will be thrown out and you will have wasted your effort.
I think it is prudent to use a PO Box number as you never know who may have access to these letters in the future, including the killer. In most states, the letters become a permanent part of the person's file and are not given to him, but we can't be sure that this will not change - lawsuits have been filed on this issue before and certainly will be again.
If you write a parole protest letter, it should be written in your own words. Below is a general guideline for writing a letter, but please make an effort to include your own reasons for protesting the release of the murderer, and expand on the sample letter. A flood of letters written exactly the same way are not given much weight by the parole board.
Also, I think it is important to include details of the crime when they are known to you and refer to the impact on the family members.
Date Parole Board Name and Address
Re: (Convict's Name) (Case Number)
Please DO NOT grant a parole date to the aforementioned convicted murderer.
The heinous nature of this crime should preclude this prisoner any consideration.
Thank you,
Your name Address City, State ZIP

Thank you, Charlene! This is a great idea. I don't have to go back and search through the threads for these if I don't have time until the weekend. Makes it even easier!

A cause both antis' and pros' can unite around - I'd be more than willing to step up to the plate on this one.

Thanks for making this place on the board because it makes it much easier to have one place to come to for information . I have sent out 2 letters so far since this started and I encourage everyone to take a few moments to write a letter.

I think they will have some impact. It shows that the case is known even in other countries and that people who are not impacted by the crime still care about the victim(s). Charlene Will letters from the UK make a difference? Chazz

It might be a good idea to mutually link with other groups and organisations involved in keeping dangerous criminals locked away. Here's one of many such organisations! www.throwawaythekey.org/ snipurl.com/jtdh

If psychologists determine that the killer is not a danger anymore to society, who are we to ignore that fact as we're not experts and psychologists are !

If psychologists determine that the killer is not a danger anymore to society, who are we to ignore that fact as we're not experts and psychologists are ! There have countless examples where the shrinks have declered that the person is no longer a danger to society and the person is granted parole. One such example is that Barry Hadlow in Queensland Australia - known as the carbon copy killer.... However there have been also many times where the shrinks have got it right said to deny the person parole, but the individual is granted parole anyway. Where I live anyway, parole protests are of limited effectiveness as virtually all sentences are finite.

Will letters from the UK make a difference? Chazz i wonder about that too. people in other states can't vote for that state's politicians that want to be re-elected or re-appointed. i'd think they pay more attention to their own constituents.

Bee, I thought that too. Until recently. The fact is, that the bigger the file and the more active it stays the better. It matters not where the letter is coming from. Believe me. You can read more in the thread: Thank you. A call to action.

"Inconceivable" is the word that best describes my true feelings in regards too this ludicrous $parole$ policy jazz. In a nutshell; the judicial system of so-called justice is telling all the families of those victims that victims rights are no longer relevant in the scheme of things.
Parole board ethics
My dear Lord; can it be, Do we champion the perpetrator of the crime, and spit on the victim? No one can dispute the fact that society in general seems to go out of its way when protecting the rights of a once convicted killer. Over the years I too have witnessed (through the media) several hideous murders followed by those most disturbing trial farces. Furthermore, this twisted concept of paroling a killer gives this subhuman another chance to be free once again, while his victim lies buried in the ground for all eternity. Ladies and Gentlemen, I don't call that justice nor shall I ever refer to it as "poetic justice" NO! Its childish "favoritism" a slap in the face to the victim too. Furthermore, its also a great way too build on ones illustrious career too, as well as making a name for him or herself.
Lets face it, the entire so-called system of justice is absolutely without question thoroughly corrupt and is beyond repair. NO!!! It needs to be "overhauled" like a skilled mechanic might overhaul a malfunctioning transmission that requires many new expensive parts too "correct" the problem. We'll the truth of the matter is that our system of so-called justice has been hijacked by a liberal doctrine that states categorically," we must appease our enemies regardless of what ever crimes they may have committed against us" Oh yes, It works both ways like a dead end street with a stop sign facing the wrong direction on it.
Honestly, like the direction our country is now heading in its liberal quest to appease the entire world. Perhaps we've become a bit numb in our thinking after being bombarded endlessly with atrocity after atrocity with a little genocide thrown in there from time to time. Moreover, no one has to tell me that the disappearing "JUST!" attributes associated with the death penalty is a well guarded 21st-century joke. I've seen the vermin many times released after some (money first) parole board found him (With the so-called expert opinion of a high priced psychiatrist) ready once again to return to society with all his past sins forgiven.
If we were to invoke logic in a most logical world, then the act of murder would send the perpetrator to his death. In a world of perfect justice there would be no appeals once sentenced to death,the guilty would be systematically punished. Perhaps the problem and its solution lies in that scientific theater of thought! It's quite obvious that we need a better system for uncovering the truth in a violent crime involving victims. it's no secret that there's a whole gamut of very effective experimental truth drugs,many that would make it clearly impossible for the perpetrator to lie under the influence of them. However, to purposely inject a serial killer who enjoys torturing his many victims to death. While at the same time turning a mute ear to the many horrific screams of sheer torment voiced by his victim, NO,NO,NO that would be cruel and unusual punishment to even suggests such a thing. Moreover, how dare we subject him or her to any form of pain. We'll that's exactly what liberalism is all about, that eye for an eye biblical concept of justice is a nonsecular concept that holds very little weight in this judicial farce system of so-called justice.
Illegal immigration a perfect plan?
Now according to a recent corrections census compiled in the last few months. A whopping 33% of all prisoners in our jails and prisons are undocumented citizens. Yes that's right! "illegal aliens" the criminal vermin from rapists to killers is flooding into our country at an alarming rate. In other words for the politically correct smock Washington's master plan to create the new world order (over our dead conservative corpses) is right on schedule now. For commonsense sake, those parole boards could learned a thing or two from the astronomical corruption that makes up our nation's capital. Obviously,you can't have fancy dressed criminals paroling other criminals or you create nothing but systematic anarchy. Generally speaking, its all tied together somewhere were the perpetrators cover their tracks quite well indeed.
to be continued
