The ritual has come every two to three years, more often than a presidential election or an Olympic sporting event. This time it occurs Thursday, and 68-year-old Carol Nicoletti is terrified. That’s when she will attend a parole hearing and, for the sixth time, read a victim-impact letter, begging the board’s commissioners to keep her daughter’s convicted killer behind bars. Thursday actually marks the seventh parole hearing for Simon Macias, but Nicoletti missed one in 2007 because of a nervous breakdown. “It’s been totally devastating, especially when it comes this time of year because it opens all the wounds again,” ...

Shameful that parole board makes decisions to keep the costs of incarceration "within budget." No way to deal with violent "people." Let's bring back chain gangs--pound big rocks into little rocks and pour the gravel between thick walls--we have lots of desert land to fill with prisons--we could have another growth industry leasing out prison cells--to the feds, ICE and California.
Where is the Facebook page? Would like to share it.
I also am a mother of a murdered child. My daughter was 10 yrs. old when she was kidnapped raped and murdered. I just went to the parole hearing Jan. 3rd. This was my sixth hearing. This evil being, at the hearing started trying to put the commissioner and the parole people in their place which didn't go well for him, he kept talking about his rights, his rights. Well this was the first hearing my son attented he was 8 at the time my daughter died, he never got over it as the rest of my family hasn't either. Anyway my son couldn't take it anymore and shouted what about my sister
s rights. The evil being stood up and shouted at my son calling him a s.o.b. Well when he stood up, he was taken from the room. Well to make a long story short. The commissioner decided to give him 15 yrs. before he could come up for parole again instead of 5. I pray for this mother and her family. I pray they never let him out. You are in my prayers.
JUDY, My family and I feel for you and your family. This is a very difficult thing to deal with especially after all this time .Victims didn't get a chance just like your son said victims don't get a second chance why in the world are we giving these murderers one, a chance to be free and in harm of another family?
Thank you all for your support in this. this Thursday we will once again have to face this. Las Vegas sun will update you on what the parole board's decision was.
Thank you,
Susan's loving niece.
