I just wanted to tell you what my BF wrote to me today...he said that I might not have heard or read about it but more then unusual lifers have been relezased on parole. One of the reasons for this is that Virginia's federal funding is suppose to expire in2005, that is next year...so he thinks if any time, this is the best to do something...he is getting a lawyer and hopes this will work out....I just wanted to let you know....

That sounds great. If they really release many lifers on parole, that might the best time to try. I hope he can afford a good lawyer. It would be so great if this worked out for you two. Have my fingers crossed.

I will keep my fingers crossed for you two !!!

Good luck :)
