The following is the Ohio Parole Board’s response to my 2016 Open Letter to them, in which I requested that they rescind their 2014 rendered decision to issue me an unwarranted 60-month sentence continuance at my fifth and most recent release consideration hearing.
The Parole Board’s September 1, 2016 response was issued the same day that Universal Support Network activist and founder Norman V. Whiteside was released from prison.
Talk about bitter-sweet. But, at least Norm is finally free to keep up the fight for true justice, and to make that beautiful, beautiful music that people rave about.
