Summary
A parolee accused of absconding and pending criminal charges had his hearing continued at the Committee on Parole to allow resolution of court proceedings and for the individual to obtain counsel.
At the Committee on Parole’s virtual session, the panel continued the revocation hearing for an individual who pleaded guilty to failing to report a valid address but said he wished to defer the hearing until related criminal charges were resolved. The panel read the parole questionnaire and explained the individual was not eligible for appointed counsel; the individual said he wanted to obtain private counsel and asked to defer.
Acting Chair Pete Freeman formally moved to continue the hearing until the criminal charges were disposed, a motion that the panel seconded and carried. The board instructed the parolee to establish a better rapport with the panel before the next hearing and said staff would return the case after court resolution.
