I'm fairly certain that my readers will shake their heads on this story. Willie Chapman, convicted of the stabbing death of his wife, Deborah Chapman, was scheduled to be released on parole when he made the unheard of request to stay in prison another day. He wanted to attend a religious event scheduled for after his parole date.
The request was so unusual that it was reported in the media and relatives of the slain woman immediately reacted. They contacted the Ohio Parole Board who:
. . . reversed itself and voted to postpone Chapman's release from Marion Correctional Institution until May 1, 2006, at the earliest.Okay, this guy was in prison for fifteen years, had his opportunity to get out, and blew it. Now he'll have about three extra years to think of his error in judgement. What kind of bonehead does this?
