Immediate help needed--Don't Parole Diggs--request denial parole

I believe this is a job for able and willing Texas Freepers. One of Mr. Bunton's daughters is a friend of mine and to see the anguish on her face speaks volumes. If you can take a couple of minutes to send out a letter you will be helping this family but also helping to protect others. This man should not see the light of day! It seems curious to me that the TDCJ has a specific # of letters in mind but I don't know why or how they came up with this figure. Please help keep Diggs behind bars! Thanks for your help and please help spread this info via email to your contacts!

If you have any questions please freepmail me as I'm not posting her contact info.

I don't think there is a requirement for the letters to come from Texans though that is very important. If you can help it would be very much appreciated!! And with this man's record it could save someone's life!

Can I say something here? I encourage all TX Freepers to help with this. My mother was murdered when I was 15 years old. She was the victim on a robbery at a business my parents owned. Both my parents were shot but my father survived. My mother ran into the room once my father was shot and she was knocked to the ground with the butt of a rifle and shot in the head.

The 3 men who did this were eventually caught and the one who actually did the shooting served a life sentence and was out on parole in 8 years!!! My family was never notified that this guy was being released. He now lives in the Atlanta area...free as a bird.

I would urge anyone who can to get involved and help here. There is no more of a hollow feeling then to know that the person who murdered someone in your family, especially your mom or dad, is free...walking the streets, maybe preparing to put someone else through what you have been through.

Hi, RB -- don't think this is tutstar's own family, but is posted on behalf of another.

Hi, the email in your post to the TDCJ is incorrect and I posted the correct one in my post above that you can click on and it will give you a subject line automatically as well. It should be
victim.svc@tdcj.state.tx.us

The "." was left out after "victim"

Oh my, I am so sorry for what you've been through. It is way too easy for killers to get parole. I'll keep you and yours in my prayers, I'm sure this pain never goes away. We have way too many criminals on the street. Writing a letter is such a simple thing to do and can make such an enormous difference in this situation.

I checked it on their website and tested it out, so I am certain it works and the other one didn't. Let us know what happens.
