What's Murder When There's An Overincarceration Crisis?
Mother fights parole for son's killer (Mike Glenn, Houston Chronicle)
A man sentenced to 45 years in prison for killing Houston banker Paul Broussard in an infamous 1991 gay-bashing incident will tell parole officials in Huntsville today why he should be freed after 14 years behind bars.
Opposing Jon Buice in his bid for early release will be Nancy Rodriguez, the victim's mother. It was a mission she also undertook in 2003 during the assailant's first parole attempt.
Perhaps Ms. Rodriguez would be more accommodating if only a helpful blogger would let her know about the "overincarceration crisis" in Texas.*
(* Just so there's no confusion, that was heavy sarcasm).
