Quick trip to Montgomery to attend a parole hearing. Awesome testimony from my niece, nephew, Alabama Attorney General Office, County DA and VOCAL representative. There were about 30 attending against parole and 1 for parole. The board of parole and pardon takes notice of numbers of people showing up and mentioned it in announcing their unanimous decision to deny parole again. Return in another five years. It didn’t help his parole bid that he stabbed an inmate since his previous parole hearing + 18 other lesser infractions.
A very controlled meeting with multiple bailiffs present and pro and con people kept separately seated and entering and leaving separately. Separate waiting rooms too. Metal detector. All staff and guards were very nice to us.
