In Memory of Susan Denise Atkins-Whitehouse
Happy New Year
During Susan's 2005 parole hearing,
the Presiding Commissioner, representing the
California Board of Parole Hearings,
talked about the letters they had
in opposition to Susan's parole,
and the letters they had
in support of Susan's parole.
The Presiding Commissioner states
they had more letters of support for Susan's parole,
then they had in opposition to Susan's parole.
(The commissioner did not phrase it this way,
she simply states the quantity they had of each.)
