The record indicates that this prisoner has been no worse and no better than most, many of whom received parole.
The record indicates that assault should not have been considered since it could not be proved in court and the parole board has no business second-guessing the court.
The record indicates that rehabilitation in prison is a complete sham...and every parole board in this day and age knows it.
The record indicates quite clearly that this parole board is in the business of lying about what it does, of dispensing Catch 22 justice...and that its members are unfit to serve and probably belong in prison.
The record indicates - if your information is correct and the previous law treated burglary and burglary with assault as equally heinous crimes - that the State of North Carolina was unfit to pass judgement on anyone.
Despite all the above you conclude that the Parole Board came to a reasonable conclusion and made the right call.
...No wonder the Bible includes a parable about beams and motes.
Apparently that is not the case in the State of North Carolina. The Parole Board does consider evidence not presented at trial. You may have a problem with that, but that is the law in North Carolina. Given that the Parole Board does consider this information, how can you fault them? You have a man with repeated convictions and at least two violent assaults who refuses to comply with the rules of incarceration. How is the Parole Board to determine that he is rehabilitated?
The record indicates that rehabilitation in prison is a complete sham...and every parole board in this day and age knows it.
Oh, they are not to make this determination. The Parole Board is just to declare that the process of rehabilitation is a sham, and turn 'em loose!
As far as your personal attack on me, I have not condemned anyone to prison for anything. I am just pointing out that the Parole Board is doing it's job.
