Aaron Miller

2 governors have stopped his parole, yet it may be a possibility. If Governor Brown wants to intervene again, he will have to go to the CA Supreme Court. I am looking to see what can be done. Not sure if letters from the public will help or not, but I am checking on it.

Christopher Fowler has been released on parole.
