2009 Parole Suitability Hearing
On May 28th,
2009, the California Parole
Board will hold Susan’s 18th parole suitability hearing.
Under California law the Parole Board must find Susan
suitable for parole unless they determine her release would constitute a
danger to society. Though Susan has the longest and most impressive prison
record in California history, documented as helping to save several lives in
just the first couple years she was in prison, never associated with drugs or
violence in the nearly 40 years she has been incarcerated, has participated
in nearly every conceivable community betterment program offered in the last
4 decades, and is now paralyzed over 85% of her body, can not sit up in bed,
and can not even be moved into a wheelchair, there is still a very real
chance the Parole Board will none the less insist her release would be a
danger to society. This makes a farce our of our justice system, where the
State only follows the law when it wants to.
Susan’s release is now
supported by both the District Attorney who prosecuted the case, as well as
the warden of the Institution where she spent the last 37 years of her
life.
If you would like to write
the California Parole Board to support Susan’s release you can do so by
