Wow, I can't believe he only got 8 years! Your parents probably never thought that they were in danger wading in shallow water. Unbelievable! My heart hurts for you and your family and I pray that you can remember the good times to ease your pain. (HUGS)

I feel your pain. The guy who killed my brother in law only received one year. And that was his 3rd DUI!

I am so sorry and justice has not been served for you and your Mom and Dad. It seems like this tragedy just happened and I am so sorry he was given parole.

I am so very sorry for your horrific loss of your parents. {{Hugs}}
I cannot imagine how you feel after today's events. I agree with you 100% regarding the laws regarding drinking and driving.

Thank you. We knew that he was eligible for parole, but it's been denied to him several times already and we had hoped they would keep denying for a while. He could have been held for up to twenty years per the terms of his sentence. He served just over seven. Were you not given the chance to speak at his parole hearing? Or is it just on TV where people can come and speak about the impact the crime had on their lives etc? |

I am horrified and sickened about this on your behalf. Eight years. What a slap in the face.
((hugs)) Merge. I am so, so sorry.

I am so sorry. That is horrible. I cannot imagine having to know that the man who killed your parents is free to live his life. 8 years was not enough.

Or is it just on TV where people can come and speak about the impact the crime had on their lives etc? In our experience, it was only at the sentencing where we were allowed to speak. We were allowed to send letters to the parole board describing the continued impact on our families and we did that several times. |

I am disgusted to read that he got out! Less than 8 years is a drop in the bucket compared to what it should be. I too am wondering if you would have been allowed to beg the parol board to keep him in for every last minute of his sentence. (Just read your response to this above.).
I hope for their sake he doesn't return to drinking and possibly ruin someone else's family.
I am so sorry they made what I think is the wrong decision. No one should be serving less than 8 years for killing 2 people.
(Eta read post where my question was answered)
