One last, final kick in the nuts!

Dear Friends:

A 60-year-old Michigan inmate who was sentenced to life in prison as a juvenile died from COVID-19 weeks before he was set to be released early.

William Garrison had spent 44 years in prison on a first-degree murder conviction, connected to a shooting that happened when he was 16, in 1976.

When the novel coronavirus pandemic started to spread across the United States, the Department of Corrections offered parole to Garrison again, citing his age and concern about the virus.

Garrison agreed, and the Department of Corrections asked the prosecutor's office if the mandatory 28-day waiting period for parole could be waived for him. He died before the office responded to the request.

R.I.P. Bill.
