Mandated?
Automatic?
From his lawyers statement upon notification of his release:
“The decision is not connected to recent developments in the Middle East”
DECISION? WHAT DECISION?
” Had parole been denied, Mr. Pollard would have been required to serve an additional fifteen years in prison.”
“HAD PAROLE BEEN DENIED”? WHY THATS IMPOSSIBLE. HIS RELEASE WAS MANDATED!
REVIEW? ASSESS? DISCRETION? WHETHER? WHY ITS MANDATED ITS AUTOMATIC !
“Over the next several months, in advance of the hearing, we engaged in dialogue with the DOJ, and submitted extensive written materials to the Parole Commission and the DOJ in support of parole, demonstrating that Mr. Pollard had an exemplary prison record, and that there was no possibility that he would commit any further crimes if released. We also secured employment and housing for Mr. Pollard in the New York area, and made that information available to the Parole Commission as well as the DOJ.”
MY, WHAT IGNORANT LAWYERS. THEY DIDNT KNOW THAT HIS RELEASE WAS AUTOMATIC.
