re: WARNING-this is tough to read, but we all NEED to sign this petition.

Ummm I don't think you do if you think she has a prayer at early release.

She was set for parole in 10.5 years, an as the article explains, due to being overcrowded, and good behavior, she is now up for parole in 3 years. She quite literally is up for early release, and has met all of the qualifications due to good behavior. I don't think it'll happen, but there's a reason the system works the way it does.

I literally cited the Governor of California overturning parole, just last week, a page ago.

I know. We are in Tennessee, and this is a completely different circumstance. Again, I don't think it will happen, but there are other factors involved.

Perhaps writing whomever is currently Tennessee's governor (I think haslem?) would be more effective.

This is a good idea. I was incorrect in my previous post regarding a judge being involved. There are Parole Hearing Officers, of which I do not know their titles. They are appointed by Bill Haslam. But they certainly are held accountable for decisions made, so hopefully their morale compass combined with a petition will be enough to keep this monster locked up.

The fact that she is even up for parole in such a short time is disturbing, whether it's granted or not.
