Beautiful gesture on your part, Delia and nice graphics, too. Rated.
That parole officer better stand by, because Delia is on the side of justice and she will prevail today.

thanks for bringing your good energy around here.
The parole board member sounded pretty supportive. I had five people with me. The board member stressed that without letters, they are MUCH more likely to release a criminal. I told him that they should look at the facts of the case and not assume a victim wasn't important because of a lack of letters...it is so easy to get lost in the system...I wasn't contacted, instead I had to contact the DA myself after 6 months...THE PAROLE BOARD MEMBER DIDN'T SEEM TO BELIEVE ME....but, he said she should have had a greater charge. He seems to be willing to keep her in, but there are four other parole board members I won't see. He said they do read letters, so I am asking family and friends of my dad again for letters. He said the main things they consider, besides letters, are: ARE THEY AFRAID OF THE CRIMINAL? and ARE THEY MAD AT THE CRIMINAL? If the board are either or both, they are less likely to parole the criminal.
I will write more about this later. Thank you, thank you, thank you. You don't know how much this means.
Yes, please give us a full post when you can. I didn't see Luis's post.
Just reading your comment is giving me a headache. If they are "mad" at the criminal then they won't grant parole? WTF?
