Parole Hearing Delayed One Month.
Support Letters Still Needed.
On September 21, the New York State Parole Board postponed David’s parole hearing for one month. We anticipate at this point that his next hearing will take place sometime in October.
In the meantime, a continued show of support for David’s parole is important. Please consider writing a letter, and asking a friend to do so!
See here for more information. Thank you so much for your continued support!
