Yep, you're reading my siggy right... we finally got a parole hearing date last week of August 23rd, after eighteen months of waiting.

Sorry if my lack of enthusiasm shows... we're pretty certain we're destined to get denied with reset again due to the January disciplinary. And things have just not been good, period... I wish I could say more but I'll have to save it for later and post-hearing. Best I can say at the moment is we're hanging in there...

Lysbeth, that is good news that yall got a date finally. I will be praying for what is best for him. Just hang in there that is the best some of us can do. Keep us updated.

Lynn,
That is great news about a hearing date! If there is anything I can do for you, just let me know! Load them up on support letters! Do you want mine?

Praying for ya here, Finally Robby got his 6-1-04, we got paroled ( lol hence I say we)but he is still there probably won't be home until August. Which is when our son goes starts big boy school!! Maybe it will be good luck the 23rd is my son's birthdayand the 1st birthday Robby will be at b/c of being in prison he has missed all of them. Praying for you two!!

Lysbeth, I'm very happy to hear that you got a parole hearing!! I pray that it wont be denied and reset again. Its all in the Lord's hands! Girl, we're here and praying for yall! :)

Sending positive thoughts and prayers your way. Glad you did finally get a parole date too.

Lysbeth that is good news and I know you have been waiting a long time to hear this.
With the overcrowding maybe they will be a little more forgiving. My prayers are with you both and hang in there...

Lysbeth, you know that you and Brian are in my prayers. I know you have waited for a long time for this date. were here for you.

I'm so happy for ya'll, Lysbeth! It's about time, huh? You know you and Brain will be in my prayers...and I hope and pray they grant him his parole.... :)

huggs,
Selena

oh heck...try to think positive anyway...you know as well as i do there is no way to perdict what the parole board will do!!! just when you think you've got it figured out...poof...they do something else....

You're right about that Denise... here's another quandary, his longtime cell partner was scheduled for the month before him (January 2003) and still hasn't gotten a date yet. I don't think there's any rhyme or reason to it at all anymore...

Lysbeth, it's been 7 months since he got that disciplinary so it should not affect his parole hearing. Lewis said that they very well could set parole pending a sap program.he said to tell Brian that he was praying for him.
standing at pto position for you and Brian. hang in there lady.
((((hugs))))

lynn..I called the board yesterday because of the same thing...some not getting dates while others are...what i was told was that...the one board that has always been there is working on things like robery, theif and drug case while the second board are doing the "more violent" case. The second board (the one with the more violent cases) are running faster than the orginal board...

that MIGHT be why some are coming up quicker...who knows..

:grouphug: Sending positive thoughts...

Lynn, Let me be among those who are sending positive thoughts and energies to you as you prepare for the hearing. I agree, by the time the hearing actually gets here, it will have been 8 months or so since the disciplinary so hopefully it won't work against him. I know this has been a nightmare for you guys; here's to Alabama making a GOOD decision and let him come home.
