Renewed outrage and concern this week over California’s five-year-old elderly parole law. It was meant to help with prison overcrowding. Criminals 50 years or older are eligible for early release if they have been behind bars for at least 20 years. Violent offenders, like murderers and rapists, can be considered. Michelle Bandur spoke with families pleading with the state to keep their attackers behind bars. Sacramento County Sheriff Jim Cooper is calling on lawmakers to step up. The sheriff sounded the alarm this week after the parole board agreed to let a 64-year-old serial child rapist walk free under this law. Late this week, Placer County filed new charges against David Funston stemming from 1996. Before that, Ashley Zavala spoke with Cooper about Funston and his initial release from prison.
