56. Case by case rebuttal:
All of the people you listed SHOULD have been left in prison, here's why:

One was a woman who was horribly abused by her husband. She stabbed him to death when he tried to beat the crap out of her. Granted parole but then denied by Davis.

Ah, so if someone tries to hit you, you can kill them? I've known several abused women, and I know the difficulty in leaving a relationship with a dominating male, but there is NO excuse for murder. I assume you're talking about the case of Marva Wallace, the woman who shot her husband THREE TIMES in the back of his head? She could have just as easily walked out the door, but she chose to kill him instead. Why? Her argument is that she felt "trapped" and saw this as the only way out. So who will she kill the next time she feels trapped?

Someone convicted of 2nd degree murder (not premeditaed) who was dying of AIDS and cancer as well as suffering dementia. The parole board decided that he could spend his last few months living with his parents. Overturned by Davis.

So now we have a guy with a proven history of being inable to control his emotions, and a history of killing, who has even LESS control due to dementia and a "nothing to lose" attitude because he was dying anyway. Sounds like a threat to society to me!

An 18 year gay kid killed one of his friends in a fit of rage after the friend told his father he was gay. The father beat the crap out of the kid and threw him out of the house. While in jail he earned 2 college degrees, tutored other inmates. He was eventually granted parole but Davis refused to grant it.

This unstable kid killed his friend because he couldn't control his temper over something that was said?!?!. The fact that he's educated now means SQUAT...the history books are full of educated men who killed without remorse, so his gaining of degrees means NOTHING. Can you prove that he WON'T kill again the next time someone does something he doesn't like?
