Chip Fitzgerald denied parole

[Moorbey]

On July 2, 2008 Romaine "Chip" Fitzgerald was denied parole from the
California Department of corrections for one more year. He will be eligible
again in July 2009. The Commissioners claim they want Chip to do more
"programming" such as groups and counseling.

One Commissioner, a former prison guard Lieutenant, stated that the 2800+
signed petitions and numerous letters offering a UCLA education, housing,
employment as a Youth Counselor and a book offer to write & publish his life
story... meant nothing to her because "the people who sign them and write
letters really don't know what goes on with these inmates."

Chip was in good spirits at the end of the hearing and did not seem to be
surprised by the outcome.

Write to Chip! WE WILL KEEP FIGHTING FOR HIS FREEDOM! We are building a
new strategy, seeking new legal representation and will execute the plan to
FREE CHIP!
