Sam Sloan's Parole Granted by Virginia Parole Board

On April 13, 1994, I was granted parole by the Virginia Parole Board. The date is significant because this was the last date that the Virginia Parole Board was in office. George Allen had just been elected governor and one of the first things he did when he took office was fire the Parole Board and replace them with a hard line group which was opposed to granting any parole at all.

The old parole board was given a few days to clean out their desks and leave. They obviously knew that Sam Sloan was not guilty of anything but that politically powerful people in Virginia wanted him in jail to cover up their own crimes, including especially their involvement in the kidnapping of his daughter, Shamema.

So, the old parole board waited until the last hour of the last day they were in office and then ordered my release.

It is to be noted that the kidnappers of my daughter, including Commonwealth Attorney Bill Petty and Judge Michael Gamble, wanted me sentenced to 15 years in prison for the crimes they committed. Had they gotten their wish, I would be in jail now and would not be able to post this on the Internet.
